[Talk-GB] Ordnance Survey National Grid maps of Edinburgh

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi all, particularly those folk mapping up in Scotland,

The National Library of Scotland has added the earliest editions of
Ordnance Survey National Grid maps covering the Edinburgh environs to their
online map offerings.

What's so special about these maps is that they show details right down to
individual buildings plus their addresses! I think this is a first for the
UK (Warwickshire CC have a map layer of these National Grid maps but theirs
cover a period which is still in copyright so cannot be used for OSM).

If out mapping and you want to double check an address, this could be a
great asset to have at your disposal.

To add this to JOSM you need to create a new imagery layer with the
following URL:

Regards,
Rob
