Re: [Talk-GB] Tagging Historic Features
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.**org/keys/historic%**3Acivilization#valueshttp://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/historic%3Acivilization#values It doesn't have a specific count for the UK but it does have a map tag (which seems to indicate very few isolated uses in the UK). Thank you! - I managed to find them, but hoped to do a bit more searching on my own database in case someone else had started a scheme that I could not find documented. As yet another aside, I thought the convention in OSM was to use English, but I always think of Civilization being an American spelling...I will definitely need to make a tool to add these tags or I will mis-spell it a lot!

Looks good, although I think the VMD layer is too transparent; I struggle to see where RoWs join up to roads as the road seems to disappear at that point. Have you tried adding barrier=fence/wall/hedge to it? I know they're not on the OS Landrangers, but they are very useful when they are there. Maybe they only work at 1:25k, though. -- Borbus. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

I just dropped in to find out why I still can't search for most full UK postcodes using Nominatim, and if there was anything I can do to help. Do I take it that this is the reason? :-| Gerv ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

[Talk-GB] OS Landform Panorama files
Hello there, I've been experimenting with Maperitive to make walking maps, http://tom.acrewoods.net/2011/10/26/making-open-data-maps-the-almost-easy-way I had some trouble getting the OS Land-form Panorama files into the correct format, but managed to get the right files off a subscriber-only train enthusiast web site. The files Nick put up, linked from here, didn't play with Maperitive and are divided up into smaller tiles: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Creating_a_panorama_with_OS_OpenData I've now put the SRTM1 files that Maperitive can use up here, if somebody would like to give them a more permanent home be my guest: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10914248/OSLFP/UKTS_24981_GB-N51-N49.rar http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10914248/OSLFP/UKTS_24983_GB-N52.rar http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10914248/OSLFP/UKTS_24984_GB-N54-N53.rar http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10914248/OSLFP/UKTS_24985_GB-N56-N55.rar http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10914248/OSLFP/UKTS_24986_GB-N60-N57.rar Regards, Tom -- http://tom.acrewoods.net http://twitter.com/tom_chance ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
