2009-10-25 Thread Chris Andrew
Hi, all. I was just thinking about the 'Keep Right' website that shows mapping errors on OSM and also, the ability to highlight roads that do not have names. Having this information available to us, do we have the capability to run a report/ script against this data, and then email the 3 (for

Hi, all. Some time ago, I realised from this list that it is possible to get an overlay on OSM of mapping errors, such as roads that don't join, bad tags etc. I can never remember how to turn this on. Would it be possible for Potlatch to have an on/off button for this feature? I think this could
