Nice! Is the 2007 data complete or does it exclude the ODBL non-comliant data?

RobJN - this is the data from June 2007 as it was live then, taken from http://planet.osm.org/cc-by-sa/planet-070627.osm.bz2.

@mvexel: Thanks. That’s what I had initially assumed but then I was confused as to why some roads go so far and then have gaps (especially true of the image of Mountain View). I wasn’t contributing to OSM in 2007 so hadn’t realised it started like this. I guess that was the best you could do without satellite imagery until someone actually got there on the ground to check that the roads did link up.

Very very cool, unfortunately my area still looks a lot like “then” but hoping to help change that
