Here’s an enlightening blog post by Ben Proctor my co-member of the Mapio Cymru project team, all about street name data from Ordnance Survey. This should be of huge interest to anybody who contributes to OpenStreetMap:<\/p>\n

A key objective of the Mapio Cymru project is to help increase the amount of names in Cymraeg (Welsh language) held by OpenStreetMap as open data, as a resource to support mapping apps and services available in Cymraeg in the future.<\/p>\n

The biggest single gap in name data in OpenStreetMap in Cymru (Wales) is road names that should be used in Cymraeg.<\/p>\n
