Any plans to restart them? Tom OK, back up and running now. Was updated lunch time today with the latest available geofabrik great_britain extract. It's now processing: postal_code on nodes/ways addr:postcode on nodes/ways first part of ref on amenity=post_box nodes Should hopefully continue to update now every Monday by about 14:30.

Would it be possible for you to include labels for the postal sectors on there as well, so that we can see which sector the polygons refer to? There's actually more than a few bugs with those sectors because of the number of partial postcodes. They mostly just make a mess at the moment if you turn them on. I am planning on improving the algorithm at some point so I might turn them on then. They'd probably currently work for the IoM and NPE, but London on OSM would be a disaster thanks to all the street sign partial postcodes that have been entered.

Re: [Talk-GB] Postcodes map moribund?
Is it possible to do another map with all the partials on it. That way we can check them for errors as well. Don't worry if it takes too much effort.

Do you use the postcode=* or add:postcode=* to pull out the areas? postal_code and addr:postcode taken from either nodes or ways -- they all get turned into points then it creates a giant voronoi diagram and pieces together polygons from continuous cells. There's lots of streets tagged postal_code in the UK (mostly with just the prefix from a street sign) and then recently there's lots of buildings and points tagged with addr:postcode so those are included too. There are layers for data from the NPE and FTP projects too. Last updated in May. Dave When you find time to fix the map would it be possible to add post boxes as an additional data source for the OSM layer?

Yes, the hopefulness wasn't enough :-( Currently got an issue compiling mapnik on my dev box that generates them.. some conflict with latest ubuntu... probably easy to fix just haven't got round to it.
