[Talk-GB] Dorset County Council maps now offer OSM Mapnik as default base layer

[m902]

I just noticed that Dorset County Council's public GIS service (Dorset 
Explorer) has been upgraded to version 3 which has Mapnik as a default 
base layer (it also offers Ordnance Survey as a base layer). See 
http://explorer.geowessex.com/.

It does seem very slow, and has limited function compared to the 
previous version (it appears to be a complete replacement). Seems like a 
beta version really. But still potentially interesting, e.g. you can 
layer public rights of way onto Mapnik.

Is anyone discussing this with Dorset's GIS team?
