Has anyone else noticed that the Ordnance Survey seem to be including
more abbreviations in their Locator names, such as Gdns. and Cres.
which flag up as errors when compared to the full names in OSM?
Is it best practice to include these as alt_name or not:name on the
OSM way? I have mainly been
I'd go for not:name, because the abbreviation is not the real name and it is
the convention established soon after the OS Opendata was released.
Where OS suddenly get these strange names from seems odd to me. It's almost as
though they want their Opendata to be hard to use.

Hi all,
In my area the council does a handy thing: they mark postcodes on the
lampposts. So I've been noting them down for mapping. However, it's a
curse as well as a blessing...

Nice work Tim.You're right about the traced and centroid JSON files.They do
indeed come out of the NYPL map-vectorizer [1]. I've got a version of this
up and running on my computer and have successfully vectorized the test
file.
Chris Fleet (from NLS) has sent me some test maps, however these are
