For security reasons we're disabling the more insecure encryption methods on our https sites, which will have the side effect of making ancient browsers like IE6 stop working with them. In the council IE6 is not only still in use but the main browser? Incredible :-)</p> <p>Just looked at the map itself. Interesting. I see there's an "offroad path" going round the south and west of Bristo Square, does that mean it's legal to cycle there? There's absolutely no indication of this out in the real world. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7593#post-77757 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 21:07:48 +0000 Darkerside 77757@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Because I needed another adjective to balance out the sentence... </p> <p>Just seems a shame there's this wealth of free data out there, but instead each council is spending chunks of budget on drawing up their own maps. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7593#post-77733 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:31:13 +0000 chdot 77733@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I couldn't find out where this data comes from, so maybe it is OSM"</p> <p>I assume it's <em>all</em> CEC - apart from the maps of course - though some of the boundary data may be from elsewhere. </p> <p>"I'm just being a heartless, grumpy cynic..."</p> <p>Why heartless?? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7593#post-77713 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:43:52 +0000 Darkerside 77713@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Whilst I'll agree it's cool, it does seem a shame that all Councils providing this are doing it individually. A quick google found Shropshire using the same service, and I presume others are as well. If, say, the funds were spent on designing various views of OpenStreetMap data and ensuring that data was correct, I suspect it would be cheaper and of more use to everyone in the long run.</p> <p>That being said I couldn't find out where this data comes from, so maybe it <em>is</em> OSM and I'm just being a heartless, grumpy cynic... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7593#post-77710 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:09:43 +0000 Kirst 77710@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Council computers are all on IE6 so you're obviously way too advanced.
