Current Status (April 2010)

The centre (bound by inner ring road) is fairly complete to a basic level of detail (road network, some buildings, amenities and so on).

Some areas which are still only sparsely mapped, with incomplete road network coverage

• Allestree
• Oakwood
• Parts of Chaddesden
• Alvaston
• Boulton
• Sinfin

Further details can also be added to the map throughout the city such as footpaths, pubs, shops, other buildings, addressing, bus stops and bus routes. In particular, in many of the suburban areas there is little detail other than the road network.

Progress of mapping in Derby wards

The following pages contain details of the progress in mapping individual streets in each of the wards of Derby. They indicate which streets listed on OS OpenData Locator (see Ordnance_Survey_Opendata) have not yet been mapped, whether amenities, shops have been mapped, whether building addresses have been mapped, and whether there are any differences between the OS Locator and OS StreetView data, and the OSM data. These pages are not yet complete, and need updating with current progress - please help.

With a GPS

Without a GPS

• Much mapping can be done without a GPS, such as mapping local amenities. Walking_Papers is one tool you can use for this. You can also use OS OpenData StreetView to map roads and buildings.
• Naming un-named roads: use the noname rendering of the map to find where there are roads without names, go there and get name data from street signs, input the map data.
• Data cleanup: There are quite a lot of glitches in the data for the Derby area. Use JOSM with the Validator plugin to clean up duplicated nodes, self crossing ways and so on.
• Adding and tagging buildings from OS OpenData StreetView.
• Mapping bus routes. See Relation:route for information.
