Opinions differ about whether this makes OS OpenData a good thing or a bad thing. Personally I am delighted that people have been able to quickly boost OSM's coverage from 'nothing' to 'basic' in these areas, and provided a base for further mapping. But then, I am an incrementalist kind of mapper and I almost always work by refining and adding detail to areas already partly complete. Opinions also differ about whether having basic coverage in an area, rather than a blank sheet, attracts OSM users and contributors or drives them away. This too usually depends on the way an individual contributor prefers to work. -- Ed Avis <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
