Hi Chris, That is a really good summary of what the dataset contains thank you - the woodland areas will certainly be useful for countryside maps.
Do you know how this data compares to the Meridian data that OS released last month? I know many people were unimpressed with it, but I think that it contained street names didn't it? If so maybe that would be a more useful 'first pass' import? I am thinking of some areas where I know there are housing estates, but I have neither the time nor inclination to cycle around them to do a proper survey - Having something in the map for these seems better than nothing to me. If we were to import such data (via an editor as discussed before - not a bulk import!), we could tag it as 'verified=no' and get the renderers to show them in a lighter colour until someone checks it and takes the 'verified=no' tag off? This could alleviate the concerns that people had that users will not survey an area if it looks complete on the map? Regards Graham.
