[Talk-gb-westmidlands] OpenStreetCam or Mapillary?

2017-09-19 Thread Brian Prangle
Hi everyone I'm in discussions with TfWM to use their inspection teams' time on the street to assist us by taking photos with smartphones, which will also help them with their asset management and not have to rely on outdated data from Google StreetView. Which one of the above is better for us?

[Talk-GB] Use of Drones

2017-09-18 Thread Brian Prangle
The regulations on the use of drones in the UK are already quite restrictive (if, of course, you're a responsible memeber of society) and are imminently to become even more restrictive with licensing and proof of competence becoming requirements. I'm pessimistic about being able to make use of

I think fixing the wiki at this stage is a bit premature as I wasn't aware the discussion had finished with an agreed consensus. I admit it's difficult with so few contributors in Wales and so we may end up with the revisionas it stands. I'm still perplexed as to how a mapper responds to a dual

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
