[Talk-GB] Ordnance Survey

[Richard Fairhurst]

We're generating StreetView tiles at the moment and some people have 
already been tracing. :) Small hiccup in the generation process meant 
that we've just had to restart (there were a couple of blank areas 
appearing at 'sheet' boundaries) but it's going well.

OS have also just announced what VectorMap District, available for free 
at the start of May, is going to look like:

http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/products/vectormap/district/

 From what the page suggests, this completely blows Meridian2 out of the 
water and, in vector format, is likely to be a lot better than 
StreetView. I'm just playing with the example shapefiles now. So it very 
much reinforces "no need to rush" - what there is in a month will be 
much better than what we have now.

cheers
