I'm a volunteer mapper with
the OpenStreetMap (OSM)
project. As part of this, I've put together a collection of tools
using official datasets to help check and expand the OSM coverage of
UK amenities and services:
- Survey Me!
- A local comparison tool combining data from the other tools listed
here. Aims to provide locations that would benefit from a ground survey.
- Addresses & Postcodes
- Tools and links to help those wanting to improve the coverage of
address and postcode mapping in the UK.
- Chain Reaction
- Comparison of branches of UK retail chains, including
supermarkets, shops, hotels, restaurants, and gambling
establishments.
- Ghosts
- Lists UK chains that have closed or been re-named/re-branded but
are still mapped in OSM.
- Linear High Street Maps
- A tool to produce linear maps showing the shops and other
businesses along a high street, to help with both surveys and
arm-chair mapping.
- Nameless
- A tool to find OSM objects that should have names but are missing
a name=* tag.
- Pharmacies
- Tools and links to help those wanting to improve the coverage of
pharmacies in the UK.
- Post Boxes
- Statistics, reports and maps to examine and check the data on UK
post boxes found in OpenStreetMap
- Post Offices
- Statistics, reports and maps to compare the data on UK
Post Offices found in OpenStreetMap with a branch list released by
Post Office Ltd under the OGL.
- Public Rights of Way
- Tools and links to help those wanting to improve the coverage of
UK Public Rights of Way and associated countryside mapping.
- Public Access Defibrillators (AEDs)
- Tools and links to help those wanting to improve the coverage of
publicly accessible automated external defibrillators in the UK.
- Schools
- A comparison / progress tool and other useful resources to help
complete the mapping of UK Schools.
- Stale Developments
- A tool to find OSM objects for constuction sites / developments
that have not been updated for some time.
Some other useful OSM resources:
- OSGB 2 OSM
- A simple tool that takes an OSGB 36 grid reference and displays a
marker on OpenStreetMap at the correct location.
- OSM Mailing List Links
- Links to the latest mailing list posts on various UK-centric OSM
lists.
- OSM Notes
- Various notes on aspects of OpenStreetMap and data licensing
issues.
