Hi, I developed an application that enables to compare OSM, Ordonancesurvey, Edubase and SEED data. https://github.com/cleder/os-opendata-edubase Please have a look and let me know what you think. -- Best Regards, Christian Ledermann Newark-on-Trent - UK Mobile : +44 7474997517 https://uk.linkedin.com/in/christianledermann https://github.com/cleder/ <*)))>{ If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left, you will also automatically save the physical environment, too. But If you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both. 1) Don’t drive species to extinction 2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on. 3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above. }<(((*> ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Registration is Now Open for State of the Map!
Currently scheduled for the end of June. If we get good sponsorship levels this year then we may push it back, if lots of people sign up early we may bring it forward. We want to keep SotM cost neutral and current budget shows we can do that with about 50% of tickets sold as early bird. Rob And when will that (the price going up) happen? In other words, what's the early bird deadline? (Yes, I have looked at both the blog and the website!) Jonathan.

Hi Mark No need to very bored in Redditch. There's a shedload of mapping to do in Redditch. What are you currently mapping? We may be able to give some remote assistance with armchair mapping and/or problem solving. Have you tried using photos with Mapillary?

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Next meeting: Atherstone
I'll go hunting listed buildings in Mancetter and Witherley and then do some of the east of Atherstone (might do some of the industrial area).
