I'm not aware of any tool that does it; Geofabrik's OSM Inspector has a 'street not found' check for addresses but I believe this just flags where no addr:street tag exists. In practice, where differences arise between OS and OSM data and it is necessary to change OSM, this is in areas without addresses. The more thoroughly-mapped parts of OSM have higher data quality and tend to reconcile cleanly with OS. It's also unlikely that anybody would manage to get the wrong street name repeatedly, both for the street and for buildings along it; and if I did happen to see such a case, I'd assume that the extra address data gives more chance that OSM is correct and OS is wrong. (The above generalization is based on central and north London - other parts of the country may have different data quality in both OS and OSM data sets.) -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
