We are working on a slippery map browser at present which will be able to produce a summary view for the country. More about that next week hopefully.
We are also creating stats for each administrative area (at district/ borough level). Here is our first cut - note however that our districts are a little out of date so some do not reflect current boundaries. We will be up to date with boundaries by net week. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/685499/OSM_OSLocator_stats.csv In summary, there are 10 authorities with over 90% coverage of OS Locator names (out of 400) and there are 7 authorities with less than 10% coverage of OS Locator names. Half the authorities (200) have over half the OS Locator names included. It is worth noting that OS Locator names include various tracks and footpaths without signs so it would be hard to achieve exceedingly high coverage without this data. We intend to make regular updates to these stats available through the ITO website from next week some time.
