You are right. It should be possibly to use ITO Map tiles in Potlatch and

Hi all,
I was just wondering whether, beyond the obvious use of having accurate
boundary data in OSM, the Boundary Line data could also be used to align
aerial imagery, particularly at the closest zoom levels?
For instance, I map in South London, close to multiple borough boundaries.
As a test, I
I have just refreshed the GPX files. The changes are:
*file names changed - replacing spaces with underscores to minimise
any possible issues with spaces in filenames
*attribution added - referring back to the OS OpenData source data
and associated licence
*for admin areas which

Sure - just ask for a dev serv account:

Hi,
It seems that the UK administrative boundaries in OSM are rather
incomplete. I'm looking for advice about the possibility of doing a bulk
upload of the OS BoundaryLine data for counties, districts and unitaries.

Not always by any means. Many urban boundaries follow roads, but many
rural ones run alongside roads and have little jinks in them where they
cross to the other side of the road. This allows

That raises an interesting question - how is the boundary actually

I would say that sharing nodes can lead to problems. Boundaries that get
