I have the same issue and generally find the history view for an area pretty much useless as a result as the majority of the changes are outside the area.

I think limiting it on upload would cause issues for editors - they’d have to throw away work or carefully sort it out themselves - but the system could automatically split change sets into smaller change sets with spatial clustering.

Hey I'm glad people appreciates it!

I spent the best part of a day working on it - it always bothered me how bland the London parks look, so I think what there's now is a big improvement.

That said, it wasn't easy to do. If you don't know them, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens do not generally have what I'd call 'woods' for the most part - the trees are fairly sparsely spaces in many areas. Even so, I've marked these as woods - I basically went from the aerial photos - if they looked fairly solid foliage from the air then I assumed they'd feel rather contained from the ground. At some point I'll pop down there and check on the ground for consistency.

The strong shadows on the trees were a mixed blessing - they make seeing the western edge of the woods hard, but they make seeing small individual trees easy!

There's also some areas that are full of small new trees (sound of the round pond), which I marked as wood. This was partly due to lazyness - I didn't want to mark every tree. Also, the intention there is clearly to create a wood, and given a few years I guess it will be one.

Anyway, glad it's appreciated - there's certainly a lot more trees that can be marked in London - both in the parks and in the streets. It's this kind of detail that raises OSM above the other maps available.

I was inspired to do this by Dulwich Park in South London, by the way :)

I've posted to your original post:

I found this PDF that should, in theory tell you:

http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/12321/response/31588/attach/3/PO%20Boxes%20A%20Z%202009.pdf

In practice though, your post box doesn't seem to be on it :(

I couldn't see any type that contained the word 'drive' in my quick search of it (i.e. drive-thru).

Going through all the post boxes in Rickmansworth, I couldn't find any that had a type that might match.

There's one 'Other', but that's at a golf club, and your picture doesn't look like a golf club to me!

http://www.wicks.org/pulp/part2.html has pictures of each letter box type, none match yours. Assuming the letters are assigned sequentially, yours must be type N or newer as type M is clearly older.

http://www.lbsg.org/ claim to be the letter box experts. Though they don't have a picture of your letter box.

If I trusted Doctor Who, I'd suspect your letter box is an alien in a rather poor disguise, as nobody has ever heard of it!

Welcome! Any questions - just ask :)

Depending where you are, you should be able to do quite a lot even without a GPS - the Yahoo! imagery can be helpful.

Have fun and don't hesitate to ask for help!

I'd say that the system is almost an LRT system - it's basically a tram for all intents and purposes, at least while it's in the guideway. I'd say really it needs it's own tag, but that way it'll probably take forever for it to get rendered! Of course, we shouldn't be tagging for the renderer!
