Cambridge University

Project Drake in 2011-12 mapped the University estate in considerable detail. To aid consistency, a University of Cambridge Tagging Schema was published.

The data continues to be maintained and used to generate the University's official map.

Progress - Cambridge City

Cambridge City is now mapped in its entirety to the level of all streets, names and cycleways, most areas of landuse, but not all footpaths. E&OE, of course. A large development at Orchard Park in the northern fringe is nearing completion and will require mapping. Land between Histon Road and Huntingdon Road is scheduled for development in the next couple of years.

Ongoing Projects

Although Cambridge has excellent mapping coverage, there are a number of areas where the detail can be enhanced further. Some users are already working on these. Potential projects include:

• Bus stop locations
• Features within college and University grounds
• Footways and bridleways within and around Cambridge
• Shop locations
• House addresses - completed December 2012
• Bus routes in Cambridgeshire
