Indeed, but the tagging isn't the problem with OSM. The tags are generally trivial to parse. (In fact, OSM's finer-grained highway tagging is more helpful than the rudimentary categories offered in Meridian2 and VectorMap District.) It's the geometry that makes OSM such a pain to deal with. The OS OpenData datasets are nicely generalised at two scales (i.e. Meridian2 and VMD) which correspond to a lot of the maps I produce. OSM isn't, and the accuracy varies wildly from one-point-per-500m to incredibly precise curves. I've not found an easy way to downsample it to a consistent level, and now OS OpenData is available, I've given up looking. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Maxspeed-tagging-for-the-UK-tp6245995p6282128.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
