[OSM-talk] Early History of OSM

[Nick Whitelegg]

Another thing about the 2006 map is that many of the ways that definitely were there then.

e.g.

http://osmz.ru/osm2006.html#14/51.0523/-0.7374

This is the Fernhurst area, West Sussex. There should be a primary road north to south and many more footpaths

Primary and secondary roads seem to be particularly prone to being missing. I think they were always highway=primary so not sure why that is.

Also a number of footpaths are missing. Is this perhaps because they are now highway=path and the 2006 map is being rendered with a 2006 stylesheet so they don't show up?

interesting, thanks for posting this. I have two remarks why it seems missleading for the less informed:
- the coastline is more recent than 2006
- you have kept the external data from natural earth (builtup areas for midzoom)

So actually in 2006 there was even less map than it appears ;-)

cheers,
Martin
