Does anyone know if there is a datafile of London locations and lat/long points?
ie,
Abbey Wood, 51.491123, 0.120935
Acton, 51.502907, -0.280165
Addington, 51.342973, -0.063373
Aldgate, 51.514200, -0.075749
Aldwych, 51.512656, -0.118545
Angel Islington, 51.532868, -0.106048
Archway, 51.565414, -0.135414
Ashford, 51.436567, -0.467940
Baker Street, 51.522493, -0.157594
Balham, 51.443454, -0.152804
Banstead, 51.329424, -0.212912
Bank, 51.513368, -0.089202
etc
If not, I'm happy to put something together myself. However, before I start down
this road, can anyone advise what I should use as the source for my data? I
could use streetmap or google maps to randomly pick on any point in the Acton
area, as an example, but I assume it then becomes another derivative work.
I *think* I can just about make out where things are on openstreetmap. Can I
click on a point and get it to tell me where I am lat/long-wise?
Would be a shame to put all the work into doing something like this and not be
able to release it into the wild 8-)
Cheers
Mike
