  Hi

I'm obviously on a loosing wicket with this one.

Feel free to buy the book if you wish, even though you've the data to 
hand right in front of you.

I never said books were wrong, just pointless in this case.

Frederik:
"All information in the book ...is already available for free on the OSM 
wiki"

Sounds like regurgitation to me.

The fallacy that there's more errors online than in print is perpetuated 
by protectionists of those involved in the publication industry.

When an error occurs in, say, the Oxford English Dictionary, how long 
does it take to get amended? A lot longer than a wiki.

Cheers
Dave F.
