It seems to be: <http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/osm_analysis/summary> I too have been surprised to see that the map I considered 'complete' was anything but! I'll be in Bristol tomorrow and perhaps I will be able to do a bit of mapping. Before visiting an area I normally do a preparatory pass of armchair mapping using the OS Locator comparison, the Street View tiles, and perhaps the Keep Right data checker. That gets the quick wins (like straightforwardly missing street names) and gives an idea of the best places to survey. So I might start filling in some of those 37% tonight. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
