Data Extracts
If using a XAPI bbox to cover Tendring, try [bbox=0.93,51.767,1.294,51.96].
If using Osmosis to extract Tendring from, for example, the Geofabrik Essex, England or Great Britain extracts, the following parameters should define a suitable bbox:
top=51.96 left=0.93 bottom=51.767 right=1.294
e.g.
osmosis --read-pbf file=great_britain.osm.pbf --bounding-box top=51.96 left=0.93 bottom=51.767 right=1.294 --write-pbf file=tendring.osm.pbf
Such a pbf file can then be used for example by Maperitive for rendering custom maps of the area, or populating a database for a custom Mapnik render.
An Osmosis Polygon is also available based on the district boundary relation as at 17/03/2011. This is very detailed and makes the extraction slower than a simple bounding box, but could be using in a command such as:
osmosis --read-pbf file=great_britain.osm.pbf --bounding-polygon file=tendring.txt --write-pbf file=tendring.osm.pbf
(where tendring.txt is a text file containing the polygon information mentioned above). The polygon file was generated using the code here which dezhin mentioned on the #osm IRC channel.
Speed comparisons at extracting Tendring from Essex on 17th March took about 7 seconds using the bbox and about 196 seconds using the bounding polygon (on the same machine).
Roads
The Tendring district is thought to be road complete. Most of the roads in the district also have their maxspeed=* tagged to reduce the number of Skobbler reports of missing maxspeeds. There are some unclassified roads that need revisiting to confirm their speeds but it is hoped that the district will be speed limit complete shortly. User:EdLoach has Maperitive rules available on his wiki page for highlighting maxspeeds.
If roads under construction are noticed it is important that these are mapped as highway=construction as both highway=construction ways and landuse=construction areas help identify areas that need regular resurveying until construction is complete.
Addresses
Some of the addresses in Tendring have been tagged on nodes using addr:housenumber=* and/or addr:housename=*, but many more have been added to ways traced from Bing and then split as appropriate into the correct number of properties after a survey. AssociatedStreet relations are then used to associated individual properties with the relevant way. Alresford and Ainger's Green are thought to be over 95% house number complete. There has been some progress in the Clacton area with addressing as well.
Currently very few properties have their postcode added using addr:postcode=*, but the CO postcodes are available as an overlay when editing. Please do not just add the postcodes to the map, but in many cases they can be used to add the correct addr:postcode=* to individual properties.
Landuse
Much landuse=* can be determined from Bing imagery, especially landuse=farmland or landuse=residential, and for most of the district the imagery is also good enough to identify whether barriers are hedges or fences (tag ways with barrier=hedge or barrier=fence. If in doubt exclude an area until a survey has been done to confirm current usage.
Education
It is believed that Tendring is primary school, secondary school, and college complete, as at June 2011 Project of the Month. There are probably many nurseries that remain untagged - see amenity=kindergarten for tagging.

Other Places/Routes/Local Projects
- The Essex Way passes through the district from Harwich to some point between Manningtree and Lawford.
- National Cycle Route NR51 ( 15020 (XML, check, manage, JOSM, history, view, gpx )) passes through the district from Harwich to near where it reaches Wivenhoe.
- In mid-2010 signs for a cycle route from Jaywick Martello Tower to Electric Cinema Harwich appeared. This route may be temporary for the duration of the project, but signs look like they'll last much longer, and sustrans is a sponsor. 1066850 (XML, check, manage, JOSM, history, view, gpx ) Certainly the signs still existed in March 2012, months after the arts project ended.
- EuroVelo route 12, the North Sea Cycle Route ( 1992529 (XML, check, manage, JOSM, history, view, gpx )) , passes through the district from Harwich International Port at Parkeston to where National Cycle Route 1 leaves the county to the north of Colchester, between Langham and Stratford St Mary.
- There is a project to try and complete the tagging of all postboxes in the district, including their reference (ref=) as determined from the information on the front of the box. Information is entered into OSM which is periodically imported by this website. Tendring is covered by postal areas CO11 (except for part of CO11 1, which is in Suffolk), CO12, CO13, CO14, CO15 and CO16 as well as parts of CO7 (roughly CO7 0, CO7 8 most of CO7 7, and two postcodes from CO7 9 - the rest of CO7 is in Colchester borough), and three postcodes from CO4 9 (the rest of CO4 also being in Colchester borough).
