I note you didn’t colour the cemetery, nobody at home there? I'm not aware of any tagging scheme for graves yet, but feel free to add the addresses there, too. I'm sure genealogists will love it. PS.

The city centre looks already very good but one thing that is completely missing are housenumbers. So, my idea is that we choose a different pub every month and collect the housenumbers in the streets around it before we settle there for some beer food. By the end of the summer we might then have address information for the whole area within the inner ring road. What do you think about this? Cheers, Christoph PS: I made a small cake for the area around the Queens Arms: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Image:Birmingham-may-cake.png ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands

Re: [Talk-GB] Generating Mapnik Images to epsg:27700 (British National Grid) Projection
As a follow up to my earlier emails regarding this. I have finally got it working with thanks to Matt Amos (and everyone else who has replied). Basically there appear to be bugs* in Mapnik preventing it converting from Google projection to 27700 on the fly, coupled with some misunderstanding of the XML file and python scripts. Once the data is in the database in the 27700 format (needed to recompile osm2pgsql) and the shape files have been converted (I used MapWindow GIS to filter to the British Isles and surrounds (i.e. Benelux, Northern France) Mapnik seams to work okay (apart from some weirdness like Lincoln becoming Linc, Peterbourgh - erborough etc... Now to write up for the Wiki. Thanks everyone for their help. Kev Swindells. * Possibly bugs or just a complete lack of memory on my machine. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
