Am especially puzzled by the slip road situation. Tomtom does drop the

I've seen someone has already connected a load of roads up in Leek, but
there are still some issues. I'll see if I can fix those from my original

I originally surveyed Leek back in 2009.
It seems Mr Darren39 has simply nuked all of my contributions in the north
and east of the town, and replaced them with his own - and none of the ways

When I last looked some time ago, the OS recommended using Grid In-quest

Which they say can be downloaded free, and with no restrictions on use.
They also claimed that the calculations should be accurate to ~ 10cm.
It can convert OSGB36 - ETRS89 -
I'm an outsider to all this OS business but if you guys in the UK should
really have been uploading data that requires attributing OS in every

Hi Richard,
Is this open-source? I'd be particularly interested in the code to
transform raw OS format - SRTM hgt-like format, as I already have code
which works with .hgt files. However the whole code coule potentially be
Hi,
Am interested in using the OS OpenData contour set for an augmented

in mind is to load them into a database and implement a lookup facility
where the elevation at a particular lat/lon can be obtained by querying
What I've done in the past is created a .osm file with my particular
post-code of interest - and then added the file as a new layer in JOSM
- so I can overlay it. I would certainly be interested to use this new
site - when my postcode areas of interest have been loaded.
All very useful
Please do not just add the centroid to the map. I don't see the value of

Couple of comments on that. Quite a lot of PROW within the urban sprawl.

Yes they do. It's in the notes on the DfT website that private toll roads

not.
