For a while now I have been working on creating a website to showcase
OSM data in the Nottingham area - http://osm-nottingham.org.uk/
My aim has been partially to create something that is useful for people
searching for services and amenities locally, but in particular to make
it easier for local mappers to spot errors and omissions, and I hope,
motivate them to contribute more data.
I have tried to cover things that are well tagged, but don't necessarily
appear in the standard renderings. For example:
* Listed buildings - I've been gradually tagging listed buildings for
the last few months and it does increase my motivation to have somewhere
to easily visualise my progress.
* Plaques - myself and another Nottingham mapper kevjs1982 have tagged a
lot of memorial plaques around the city.
* Shops - a good proportion of Nottingham's shops have been mapped, with
particular credit for this going to SK53. There are a series of layers
for different categories of shop. Extra tags such as opening hours,
website and wheelchair access are shown where used.
There is also an address search: Nottingham has 70,998 addresses tagged
as of today. The search takes account of details such as flat numbers,
which I routinely tag, but often seem to get overlooked.
Cheers,
Will Phillips (will_p)
