[Talk-GB] Mapping progress in Surrey Heath

[Tim Francois]

Just adding my support for wiki instructions - after messing around with the
OS Locator data I thought I'd have a go at the vector stuff, but couldn't
really get to grips with it. So yeah, some instructions would be very
useful!
 
As someone else has said, I've just been tidying up the area of my previous
residence, adding some green areas and leisure facilities, and re-aligning
some paths which I'd added from gps traces. No doubt the aerial imagery is a
very useful!

You might also consider using the shape files from OS VectorMap for the
water ways. This provides a ready-made, quite detailed outline of
waterways. I have supplied a few people with help doing this, so think I
should write up the process in the wiki.

Cheers, Chris



I was also going to suggest using the ready-made vector data for
lake/rivers/streams. I've worked out a way of converting, but a guide on the
wiki would be very useful.
