I take data from OS as evidence that there is a name for a road/track etc.
I'm happy with that where I know a road exists, and I have added names
to the farm tracks around the village. But putting roads on OSM
without actually verifying that they exists, that's another debate :)
Personally I'd take OS as evidence of the existence of a road as well.
Obviously it would be good to have travelled it as OSL isn't the most
accurate for location & direction, but at least we know it's there.
It was concluded in a previous discussion that OS didn't put 'easter
eggs' into their data.
Do you have any examples of roads not being on the ground?
Tim, I hope you didn't take my point as a criticsm of your work.
Quite the opposite. I was just trying to square the difference
between our perception of how we were doing with the statisitcs you
gave. And around here the answer seems to be a lot to do with
apostrophes and farm tracks, but of course it will be different
everywhere, and you clearly show that we've got a bit to do in for
example, Peterborough. Thanks for the analysis.
+1 for Tim's work.
Cheers
Dave F.
