But we should be able to adjust the way osmand renders the data? As long

Another option to the GPS data, would be to use Mapillary to provide the latest
images of the roads, and automatically a GPS trace is included too. This would
mean that the images could be used for us to map alongside a feed of the
changes that are known. This also has the advantage in that
Hi John,
The negativity, or least lack of enthusiasm, is partly due to the
complexity of the issue. We'd love to have Highways Agency data as open
data but if the data is based upon Ordnance Survey data this becomes a
quite tricky. Normally you would have the data holder apply for a Exemption
Thanks Phil, I agree that proposed highways should only be added (and
tagged as proposed) when they are certain to get built, however, we're not
talking about proposed highways here. We are talking about working with the
HA to get dates of road completions.

p.s. OSMand rendering is a matter

Oh well the do-ocracy system of OSM once again descends into no-ocracy.

John,
Please don't tell the Highways
I am not convinced proposed highways are especially useful in OSM, until
construction starts they are just ideas and break the map what we see
rule.
Proposed highways should certainly not render, for example I drove
through Uttoxeter with osmand running and the proposed highways make the

I totally agree with Rob, we are tied by the law. The OS need to
realise that the data they hold was paid for by us and to restrict its
use by Govt is plain wrong. The HA should understand this so they can
pressure their Ministers to open things up.

Hi,
I have been talking to the Highways Agency who are keen to get more recent
changes on OSM. They want to get all the new roads added and therefore added to
the routers.

Now I am no expert on the copyright situation here and dialogue is
difficult they know little about OSM really. He

wanting to know what we can use.

Maybe it is just down to how much OSMers enjoy mapping new features in their
