That'll be great. What I was mainly looking for was guidance on tagging. I've not mapped boundaries before, and it would be useful to know what the Peter Reed project (needs a name, by the way) is looking for in the OSM database. (Not that we should map solely with that in mind, of course!) -- Steve _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
