Re: [OSM-talk] OSM Book of Funny Names
This site will give you a list of amusing names that are close to you http://places.jump-around.com/closest/ Not sure where it gets the data from though.

For example there is a Tennis Court on Tennis Road in the IoM http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=54.15646lon=-4.4903zoom=16layers=B0FT So if you've also found some, then send me a photo of the street sign and an OSM link or whatever you have... If there's a good enough response I'll put them together in to a print on demand book with maps and photos. have fun, SteveC | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.asklater.com/steve/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
