Logu d'OpenStreetMap OpenStreetMap

A week waiting for render, and a trip out

Pubblicatu di 0235 lu 22 November 2021 n English

A few weeks ago I was told by a Lorry driving friend that a new Truck only service station had opened nearby. I was quite surprised as Lorry driving infrastructure is normally not the best in the UK, and I was quite surprised to see a brand new facility.

Based on dash-cam footage they showed me and Bing aerial images, I attempted to get as much information as possible.

So while I was waiting for the render to cache on my PC (despite my work computer, and various phones all updating faster) I went out and did some exploring with Street Complete. It makes adding addresses and other buildings when you are out on a survey much much easier. And while I as only me journey, I discovered a brand new mini-housing development that didn’t even show on Bing maps satellite imagery yet, so it was very useful to go for a bit of a walk.

Thanks for going the extra mile (literally) to add all those details. The only items that you might want to revisit is the amenity names. I doubt the cafes all just double the name of the installation. Quick online search suggests they may have different names, but best to verify on the ground.
