[Talk-GB] [Edinburgh] Road Names

[Bob Kerr]

Very Cool,
I think it would be worth going over this at the next meeting, maybe we could put up a wiki page with the roads that are missing and plan the mapping party for areas that are particularly bad.
Excellent work
cheers
Bob

Cool I've hooked up a script to do a comparison with the street names in 
OSM and have put the results up at:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah4ejhysSkMOdDktM0Jyb3Z5TGFQTjZkOHJ4RHlnVGc&hl=en

Overall on the first pass we match about 75% of the road names, although 
there are lots of 'Z' Class roads that we don't have.

I have also done a area by area comparison and have included this on the 
second tab of the spreadsheet some area's look very good and some quite 
poor. I hope to spend some time looking at an area and figuring out 
where we don't match in order to get any bugs out, but if anyone wants 
to make any comments then the spreadsheet *should* be writable.

Also let me know if there are any other fields that it would be useful 
to pull out of OSM.

Cheers
Chris
