Re: [Talk-GB] Resurrecting the 'find the missing paths for 2026' project

Hi I've been using MapThe Paths for the last year to add my local ROW's to OSM - I find it a great help. If we can get all of the data into OSM it will enable all ROW users to identify in one source of ROWs and NOT.ROWs. This is important as I have identified several paths which perhaps

[Talk-GB] 24 hour mapathon - Aberconwy

Hi all, I've not done a great deal of publicity about these, but as a reminder the next 24 hour mapathon is coming up next Wednesday. This time we are mapping Aberconwy. There's no need to plan anything but feel free to do some prep if you like. Just take a look at that bit of the map at any

Whilst I'm not sure of the precise conclusions, this has been considered many many times before. I think it may even have been done in some places. I'd suggest a search of the list archives. Note that this data is not suitable for reverse geo-coding, because I don't believe it distinguishes

[Talk-GB] Import UK postcode data?

Hi, I'm wondering if it would be feasible and advisable to import the UK postcode data from OS OpenData Codepoint . The licence is OSM compatible. My thinking was that we could create a node for each data point

Re: [Talk-GB] Import UK postcode data?

I would not like to see that happen. OSM maps real objects, postcodes are not real and only apply as a part of an object's address. They apply to buildings (delivery points on buildings really). The postcodes in Codepoint Open are centroids derived from a combination of all the delivery points

Re: [Talk-GB] Import UK postcode data?

I really see no point. The data are already present in Nominatim (albeit perhaps not up-to-date) and search is the ONLY thing that so-called postcode centroids can help with. DE24 (Sinfin) was imported long ago, see this overpass query . What can be done is

Re: [Talk-GB] Import UK postcode data?

OsmAnd is what made me think of it. I'm using that for directions a lot now, and it's common these days to give a postcode to plug into a sat nav, but they frequently don't work in OsmAnd. I was somewhat surprised that it hadn't already been done, and I accept all the reasons for not doing

FYI in JOSM (latest) https wont generate a TMS URL. I had to change the pasted URL to http & then back again. then it generated & 'ungreyed' the Okay button. Is this expected behaviour? On 02/10/2019 15:37, Chris Hill wrote: Thanks, I've just updated with August 2019 data, the next update is

Hi Edward, Sorry for the slow reply, you caught me at a busy time. I think 2 and 3 are quite similar. Perhaps you could argue that 3 is more focused on non public sector. Maybe we get improved content on our website and some leaflets ready (if needed) and then start sharing that content. It
