All, Following on from Rob's email the contact person for Getmapping is: Jake Lauder - [email protected] mailto:[email protected]
Web:http://www.getmapping.com Address: Virginia Villas, High Street, Hartley Wintney, RG27 8NW If making contact I suggest you mention the discussion that he and Steve Chilton had recently at the GeoForum2019 meeting at Lancaster University. Also stating the obvious: The request should outline what OSM plan to do (tracing) and where the data will be used.
