Funny, I thought a typo was a mispelling, not a change in use or change
of tag.
natural=gras fair enough, but actually changing any subtle definitions of
what a mapper actually meant by the difference between tags cannot be done
by an armchair mapper as someone put it.
What really pees me off (OK
I completely misinterpreted what was going on, just ignore me :)
By the way, great to have OSL vs OSM overlay, definitely helps!

I don't believe there would be any point in creating more tags for
possibly incorrect names that are being searched for. A good search
engine can do all that legwork for the end user giving suggestions like
Google maps or something similar taking the hassle away.
As far as street names vs OS
Totally agree. Flooding OSM with not: tags is both pointless and
counter-productive. Why not implement a search engine type feature like
google suggest that spell checks and autocorrects. If the differences
between OS Locater and OSM are only minor, i.e. apostrophes, spaces in
names, etc then
Hi all,
Just tested the raw output of this, and (without being flamed) have
uploaded a few of these tile outputs to OSM on the Isle of Sheppey.
Don't worry guys I have every intention of checking the entire island as
I live here anyway, so will check alignments, etc. It is in my opinion

Also fuzzer is a bugger to get working and I don't know how to edit the
fuzzyselect.py to get it doing what I wanted (i.e. auto-tracing from OS
StreetView), so this script should definitely help!

Just a quick couple of questions really.
I have created buildings and residential areas, i.e. marked out where
the houses are along a street according to OS data and memory, but it
doesn't appear in Mapnik or Osmarender. Could this be because there
has been an entire residential area added from
I have looked but quickly got confused by the sheer amount of data
there.

is the link to the section of Thames Avenue where I placed the
buildings.
Thanks again for the help :)
Thanks guys, I didn't realise that landuse was just for large areas. I
will definitely try the building:use tag on these as I want to show
they're just houses not anything else.

Hey guys,
Is there any way in Potlatch or Merkaartor (I can't understand JOSM)
to make buildings look better, i.e. making right angled corners
instead of manually clicking and dragging nodes so that the buildings
look better?
Thanks :)

I guess I can switch over to JOSM for things like that thanks again Shaun! :)

Hi all,
I live in Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey and have done quite a lot
of work on mapping the island. I am constantly adding bits here and
there; buildings, POIs, adjusting roads that need minor changes and
have recently been fiddling around with the local railway lines.
