Just a quick couple of questions really.
I have created buildings and residential areas, i.e. marked out where
the houses are along a street according to OS data and memory, but it
doesn't appear in Mapnik or Osmarender. Could this be because there
has been an entire residential area added from
Hi Roy,
Do you have a link to the map area so that someone can look at the data to see
what the problem is?
You should be able to have landuse and buildings without a problem.
Have you looked at the tags that are used for the buildings in central london,
for a comparison?

Can someone tell us what's happening with the latest release of OS data please?
When streetview came out there were quite a few emails about tiles being
rendered for tracing etc but this time it's all been very quiet!
I presume someone somewhere is doing the vector data, but what about the
I have looked but quickly got confused by the sheer amount of data
there.

is the link to the section of Thames Avenue where I placed the
buildings.
Thanks again for the help :)
The buildings have been tagged as both building=yes and landuse=residential and
I think this will be confusing the renderer - landuse is used for areas and the
buildings (and everything else) sit on top.
So tag the general area as landuse=residential (a few ways to do this) and just
tag the
Thanks guys, I didn't realise that landuse was just for large areas. I
will definitely try the building:use tag on these as I want to show
they're just houses not anything else.

People are looking at it, people are stroking their beards.
There was a bit of discussion about this at the hack day yesterday. Probably
the best thing to do is convert

Hi Chris,
That is a really good summary of what the dataset contains thank you - the
woodland areas will certainly be useful for countryside maps.
Do you know how this data compares to the Meridian data that OS released
last month? I know many people were unimpressed with it, but I think that

Hey guys,
Is there any way in Potlatch or Merkaartor (I can't understand JOSM)
to make buildings look better, i.e. making right angled corners
instead of manually clicking and dragging nodes so that the buildings
look better?
Thanks :)

In JOSM select the building and press q.
Potlatch currently doesn't have that feature, but it is in the upcoming
Potlatch 2.
Don't know about Merkaartor.

I guess I can switch over to JOSM for things like that thanks again Shaun! :)

The imagery is fantastic. I've already been able to draw some complex
road junctions far better than I could with traces alone. You and all
the other people who have made this available have done an amazing job,

Apologies, again, for top-posting.
I'd echo Wilf's comments. There is a huge amount of detail which can be added
without worrying over much about the precision of the alignment. It's possible
to identify pedestrian crossings, traffic lit junctions, one-way signs on roads
( in car parks) etc.,

The Meridian data is pretty crude and incomplete. The residential level
roads seem to be largely missing, especially in rural areas. The curves
are chunky and crude. Similarly the woods and water are not fully
represented and are chunky. The admin borders have chunks missing.
I just ignored it
