Re: [Talk-GB] New user reinstating old railways in Norfolk

It may be worth pointing out that you can have different view of the same data. For example ITO have a map highlighting the former railways: http://www.itoworld.com/map/198#fullscreenlat=52.58151540618443lon=1.0302901709739063zoom=9 Shaun ITO World Developer On 18 Feb 2013, at 14:24, Robert

Re: [OSM-talk] State of the Map 2013 venue selected.

It was due to the combination of costs, availability and suitability of venues. The best venue wasn't available a week later. Other venues weren't as suitable for the conference and would have cost significantly more. Shaun On 16 Feb 2013, at 23:04, Jeffrey Johnson ortel...@gmail.com wrote:

Re: [Talk-GB] Office of National Statistics data

CycleStreets for example use a different database for the postcodes (Code Point Open) and if any search query looks like a post code the look it up there first. Similarly for station names they look them up in their own table first before going to nominatim. Shaun On 31 Oct 2012, at 12:30,
