Maybe a solution could be additionally displaying the map notes tickbox on the add note side panel. Showing if currently the map notes is on or not. This will also stop someone, in theory, adding a note someone else has already added as they are not aware there is a note there. -- View this

Andy, I idea that lets not fix things as it might be better to resurvey by hand for rejecting it is not any part of DWG policy or standards. You should stop pretending like it is. It seems like you want to appease the people those they think there area is mapped and need prompting to do any

I am not a fan of reverting in general. Sure there are some mistakes here but surely not even the most steadfast old timers here think that *all* of these changes are wrong. Maybe *shrug* it is 50/50 here right/wrong. And I disagree with the *only* way to deal with is to revert. You could simply

Sorry ignore some of my last mail some of these failed online tools only work on top levels domains (it late *yawn* and I wasn't paying attention) rather than subdomains. Anyway I still get a lookup fail. Maybe it is just my ISP.*shrug* -- View this message in context:

Great however the OSM referenced has been shoehorned in there (not complaining though), as the cartographers mentioned finding the new 2000ft mountain just seemed to use Ordinance Surveynotably the wrong height appears on OSM and not updated. :(

Re: [Talk-GB] Postcode data

Firstly, I didn't expect so much conversation on this. I must say I never really though about the closed nature vs open source of OSM conflict. And I am not a facebook user myself (I really dislike the walled garden idea that is facebook) and only joined Twitter to see what it is about, I've not
