I don't know exactly what is going to make it from OS to OSM yet, but... It is still good (very important in my opinion) for the map to be checked. For one reason, see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Copyright_Easter_Eggs You can check roads while adding valuable other data, bicycle racks, recycling bins, restaurants, shops, and stuff that might not be on the OS maps (or not on what they have released). In some places it may even be tricky to do an automatic bulk import of OS data, because of duplicating extensive data already added to OSM. -- Gregory o...@livingwithdragons.com http://www.livingwithdragons.com
