Hi Andrew
The location was one of the plus points of OSM I mentioned in my email
to them, however, for the ones I've checked they don't appear to be
/that/ bad. They certainly appeared to be better than Google itself
(Inside a roundabout for instance) so I was curious if CAMRA had used
google's geocoder. From there website Is there as way to check?

My concern is the quality of their location data - they suffer from
the well known myth that a postcode defines the location. I have
helped in a few specific cases but the local branch didn't seem
interested in for example checking the locaion of pubs before uploading.
This then leads to concerns that the licence is problematic as
presumably googles geocoder has been used.

Considering CAMRA's What Pub? website is volunteer, crowd sourced,
I was mildly disappointed to see it using Google maps. I've just
this minute written an email to them explaining some of the
advantages of using OSM. I thought if any actual CAMRA members
here could also chip in it might persuade them to swap over.

It might even be possible to share databases to improve the
quality of both.
