Sorry I'm a little late to thread, but given I live in Portsmouth - well Southsea :) and I cycle a lot - I've been slowly updating OSM on an ad hoc basis it over time. (Actually I'm more interested in footpaths and bridleways...). Anyway if you can point me to somewhere precise, I can double check things on the ground. Remember Bing images are a couple years old and some of the infrastructure *has definitely* changed around here. NB1 - I don't go to Gosport very often - it's not on my commute and the ferry costs money :( NB2 - Portsmouth CC have relatively recently been putting in single/double cycle parking ground loops around local shops NB3 - You've got me to thank for most of the 20mph (and other) speed limits on the Portsmouth map. NB4 - This reminds me to add cycle parking for Waitrose, Palmerston Road & Albert Road that I can remember off the top of my head. [There must be more near the seafront - but I need to check locations+numbers] PS1 Nice work on the cycle parking heat map - it's good to spot things missing (i.e. for NB4 above) PS2 how often does this get updated? PS3 It would be even better if one could select the open cycle map as the base layer. Be Seeing You - Rob. If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving isn't for you. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
