I've done the same as Craig: exported only the features I was interested in
using QGIS, before using JOSM to tidy it up.
I did Chew Valley Lake and the River Chew running into it from the Avon at
Keynsham.

If you want to stick strictly to OSM best-practices, you CANNOT use data
that you have collected from Google StreetView and use it in OSM.

Hmm, actually, may not be what you're looking for afterall - perhaps the
in-built error checking features of JOSM may be better: if I remember

This discussion is kinda related to my incessant questioning last week about

A big start would be to explain the two major features of the UI: what the

All,
There was discussion recently about letting OS know when we find an error in
their data. I fully support this, and have found a few errors already.
Question: what's the best way to contact them? Do we have a contact within OS

I think OS *is* more accurate on the whole, after comparing a vast amount of
areas with which I'm familiar. Yes, we 'outdo' the OS map in some areas, but
probably not in accuracy, more in map 'awesomeness'.
I still think that we should be tracing the blank areas with the OSSV data.

Great site!
I have bug report though. I've done a bit of tracing from the OS SteetView in
conjunction with some GPX traces I have. Using the site, I download a GPX file
of the area but a load of the waypoint tags have empty lat/lon attributes.
i.e. wpt lat='' lon=''. Download link:

As a point of note while I was just doing a little test editing with these
tiles, using the WMS function in JOSM I wasn't getting the necessary quality

That's all well and good (I've been editing some of that wiki, so am aware of
it!!) but all I see in this mailing list is quick discussions of comparisons,
but no real conclusions. Also, why bother to spend the vast amount of time
