Leicester Forest East looks a bit confused, it is down to both modify a Shell node and to add a BP node. It can't be both. I will try to check what brand it really is. Phil (trigpoint) On Thu, 2018-03-08 at 21:28 +, SK53 wrote: > Dear All, > > You may not be aware of a new planned import

Re: [Talk-GB] AGM planning task force

Manchester certainly sounds a good choice. As for venues I would suggest The Manchester Escalator (open working space) on Deansgate, walkable from the stations. I attended a Manchester Open Data Group meeting there, on behalf of OSM, a couple of years ago and think it is a suitable venue with

Re: [Talk-GB] Quarterly project: Petrol stations

It is something that will need looking at, can someone look at the Derby or London sites. The press releases mention 30 minutes and wifi which is certainly not compatible with a forecourt. Shell may see the site as a single object but in OSM terms it is several. Fuel, shop, parking etc. The

Re: [OSM-talk] How to show school icons ?

Normally we map schools as areas, in which case they show quite prominently as yellow areas. The tag is put on the area of the grounds. Mapping something so large as a node seems quite odd to me. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/52.8570/-2.7287 Phil (trigpoint) On 24 November 2017

Re: [Talk-GB] Prow_ref format

I don't believe that the type is needed as it can be derived from the designation tag. As a regular user of rights of way references to report problems to my local highway authority I can vouch that the parish code based GIS reference is far easier to use than the colloquial reference

Re: [Talk-GB] Importing Shell fuel stations
