That's perhaps because Birmingham banning apostrophes is fairly recent: http://is.gd/2kSAe (story at Metro.co.uk). In case it helps anyone else, the tool doesn't seem to work for me on IE8 but does in Firefox. In both I can zoom in on say central Birmingham, but only in Firefox to letters on coloured backgrounds appear to allow me to select a locality. I note around here that where a Parish is named after the village, the Nptg LocalityName seems to be located near the OSM village-of-the-same-name node, rather than where the parish name renders in the centre of the admin boundary relation area. Still working out what I can do with it though. Ed _______________________________________________ Talk-transit mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
