These *could* be put into Map Warper at http://wrp.geothings.net/ and then used as a wms layer in Josm but they're not at all accurate compared to what we already have. They'd perhaps show us where we are missing sections, but not be useful enough to trace. There may be usable data available either that I've just not come across, or that would be made available through a Freedom of Information request (I'd hazard a guess the response will be ask Ordnance Survey) Also, whilst on the subject, much of the uk rail network is mapped - but mostly with just single ways. It would be nice to see the number of tracks shown either with tracks=* or just extra tracks added in. -- Alice _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
