[Talk-GB] OS Locator / OSM correspondence list generation

[Tim François]

For something that can be imported to editors, why not generate a GPX file? JOSM loads these natively. Or am I missing something...?

Also, I'm interested in the speed of your script: how long does it take to process the entire GB.osm?

I could do some extracts of areas within bounding boxes.

Ah. Thank you for reminding me kml exists. It may be an option for publishing bounding boxes as it has quite a rich data model. Ideally I would like something that is importable into editors, but such a format/mechanism doesn't really exist.
