I think that was the one they 'officially opened' on the One Show yesterday (BBC 1, on the iPlayer now) with a load of RiverDance girls - I kid you not....

I've just read on the BBC news site [2] that the temporary bridge is to open today, at 10:30. Can a local please update the map? I'm wary of changing it remotely. I'm giving a presentation/demonstration on OSM to my local LUG soon, and I'd really like to use this as an example of how OSM can be better than commercial maps, especially since TomTom's VP of ecommerce told PC Pro "There are services like OpenStreetMap, and it's good, but sometimes there's not a bridge when it told you there would be." [3], and their map of Workington still routes people over the damaged bridges :) Russ [1] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=54.64893&lon=-3.54955&zoom=16 [2] http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/8627276.stm [3] http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/356008/tomtom-shrugs-off-free-apps-threat-with-new-iphone-app _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
