New A16 - OSM first again!

Posted by davespod on 11 October 2010 in English.

Had occasion to drive along the new A16 Crowland bypass, which opened in August, at the weekend and took a GPS trace and notes (while a passenger). But didn't think to check whether it had already been mapped - well, of course it has!

Well done user:pcaouolte! I note neither Google nor Bing have it yet. And neither does TomTom, so enjoy your new road, you lucky Skobbler users!

A man went to jail for this road, so mapping it is the least we could do:

If you want, you can add an entry at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/New_and_Changed_Ways

The section there about UK is still empty ...
