Hi Brian, The GiGL data are open AFAIK. I have downloaded a copy but havent looked at it yet: it should be appearing on the GLA Data Store.

That was, of course, meant to go to the Wikimedia UK mailing list, not the OSM UK list. I was wondering why so many replies were about mapping...

Re: [Talk-GB] Lewis Cubitt Square, Kings Cross
While we're on this subject, it isn't readily apparent to me which map base the Guardian is using for this campaign. We should be lobbying them to use an open source rather than an online POPS which does suggest a delicious irony. But if they're using OSM then good for them. I've already raised this with them but not received a reply Regards Brian On 4 August 2017 at 14:16, Dan S wrote: > 2017-08-04 13:20 GMT+01:00 SK53 : > > Personally I'm rather more interested in mapping POPS as they are > becoming > > an issue in larger cities. > > We could map the boundaries of POPS through a systematic procedure of > standing in specific spots, looking like we don't want to buy > anything, and waiting for the security guards' reaction? > > Dan > > ___ > Talk-GB mailing list > Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb > ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

We could map the boundaries of POPS through a systematic procedure of standing in specific spots, looking like we don't want to buy anything, and waiting for the security guards' reaction?

Re: [Talk-GB] Lewis Cubitt Square, Kings Cross
See for example: https://www.nicholasgooddenphotography.co.uk/london-blog/permit-for-photography-london. I think it's entirely reasonable to warn people about such issues. I think I may have taken photos of Granary Square but not sure if from within the private bounds. Personally I'm rather more interested in mapping POPS as they are becoming an issue in larger cities.

That doesn't mean that photographs cannot be taken; just that if they ask a photographer to stop or leave, they should do so. (And good luck to them spotting, let alone stopping, everyone who takes a pic with their mobile phone.) Nor can they stop people taking pictures from adjacent public spaces, such as the highway. In either case, once the pics are taken, Wikipedia and its sister projects can use them. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] Lewis Cubitt Square, Kings Cross
Isn't this one of the Pops (privately-owned public-space) recently mapped by GiGL? In which case the landowner might forbid photographs.
