In Britain, a tertiary road is between a B road (secondary) and unclassified. Residential is a unclassified road with houses on it.

I don't know how this fits in over there.

Incidentally, the "trace" is actually called a way. Traces are what GPSes produce.

Java doesn't like compositing window managers.

I've always thought that Lismore was a weeish island off of Oban on the west coast of Scotland.

I think that potlatch / a user using it has created multiple versions of the same thing.

I think a lot of the railway lines in Glasgow were done from landsat satellite images, which aren't very good.

The main map is updated every Wednesday, so you'll have to wait for a week.

There is likely an option in the GPS tracking option page which says "Log to external card". Enable this, as it has no limit.

Other GPXes seem to be fine, are you sure your files are some kind of XML?

The normal map layer is updated on and after Wednesdays.

Here's me thinking that Parkinson was a TV talk show host.

Great names for places you have over there.

I can't help but draw parallels between OSM and Wikipedia. We all know how Wikipedia is now, but I'm sure that it started with the anarchy that OSM has just now.

Anything would be better than the current situation.

I posted on the mailing list about a tag tab here, but was told that ideas aren't good enough.

As a large monopolistic supermarket chain says, every little helps.

Without your location, it is hard to check your work.

In other words, it won't appear until at least next Wednesday.

The only reason the real name and the copyrighted map's names are supposed to be the same is because their map's right for that particular road.

Just because someone says that the road I live on is "Montrose Drive", doesn't mean any knowledge of that name is also under copyright.

I wonder if the SNP will start renaming roads "Alex Street".

Alex Salmond is the First Minister of Scotland by the way.

I'm not sure why I'm saying this.

Not meaning to be a whiny Scotsman (well, maybe just a bit), I thought that the UK wasn't just England.

Sorry, I'm a pedant.
