@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.

Ok that is very impressive.

Nice! Is the 2007 data complete or does it exclude the ODBL non-comliant data?
Cummentu di mvexel lu 27 July 2014 ê 00:57
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.

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