[Talk-GB] Map layer with OS Locator comparison from ITO

[Peter Miller]

We have created a map layer for Potlatch showing OS Locator names  
which are not in the nearby OSM data in a nice visual way.

Details in our blog post of the subject.

To access the tiles paste the following into the custom layer box in  
Potlatch (or similar in JOSM).

Note our proposed 'not:name' tag for suppressing errors in OS Locator  
data. This could be extended to 'not:ref' and 'not:access' etc etc. I  
hope there is not another convention for blocking tag values that we  
have overlooked. If there is we will of course adjust our code to  
accommodate it.

there is a 48 hour delay until new data appears on the tiles. Ie,  
monday edits will appear on wednesday etc.
