Yeah, I'm working on it - up in the northern suburbs at the moment, it's the area I know best. It's interesting that many streets that were showing as OK in the tools prior to the change may still be there, but are missing many nodes, so they don't match reality any more. I find you have to

I second what Ian has just said. Is there anyway we can contact local Australian mappers to join the effort? There must be a lot of local inactive mappers out there that might respond. Regards, Michael On 20/07/2012 10:55 AM, Ian Sergeant wrote: Let's give it a few days, and come to terms
