Great. Two questions (since I'm new to the GB group) - anecdotally, what counties do you think benefited a lot from the OS data? what about Bing? where there particular regions it was especially useful for? - any pointers to tutorials on building an ITO style over-time visualization? What is easiest source if I'm looking for a history dataset for a small region. That would allow me to answer a question like "what was the impact of OS"
