Its great to see the the Isle of Man featuring as OpenStreetMap’s image of the week:
The map you see is the combined result of people tracing from aerial imagery, people collecting gps tracks, and people tracing from the map that the Isle of Man Department for Local Government and the Environment gave to OpenStreetMap.
With the help of Artem and John Burgess’ osm2pgsql conversion utility, I’ve produced some shapefiles of OSM data for the Isle of Man. Grab them from here.
