OS Locator Bugs

This pages lists resolutions for discrepancies between OS Locator data and OpenStreetMap data in the Midlands. The OSM and OSL differences tileset gives a comparison of OS Locator and Openstreetmap (view Birmingham). For apparent discrepancies a resurvey is needed to check what is on the ground. If on resurvey it is found that OSM is correct and OS Locator is wrong then add an extra tag, not:name , to the way(s) and enter the OS Locator name as the value. For more on the OS Locator tiles, see OS Locator.
