Fascinating video Keith! And mesmerising. I had to laugh when I saw the
brief "no imagery exists at this zoom level" message, somewhere around the
Monaghan border I think.

re: naming convention, I would be inclined to go for the more generic
"Border NI/ROI"m unless it is clear that the border crossing mane is itself
a specific name that would be used locally, in which case provide
name=Border NI/ROI and name_2=[the other name].

N1/A1 crossings aren't particularly noteworthy to need spelling out, and
clearly they are not using a terminology that could be expanded to the
other crossings (far too many without road numbers, etc). Thats' my opinion
anyway.
