However as I've been out with the gritters you should note that the routes start and stop quite a lot so they're not like one continuous route. This is because there is crossover in terms of the routes the drivers have to take to get to the roads they actually have to grit.

I went to start editing one of the gritting routes today and discovered that the pdf files are all crown copyright maps derived from the OS so are in fact useless for our purposes- what we need are text-based descriptions - ideally the actual routes given to the gritting drivers as published by Solihull, Wolverhampton and Walsall; or a list of streets as published by Birmingham Regards Brian _______________________________________________ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands
