It seems to use jawg.io for its base map. Perhaps it's this?

It brings me a lot of joy to contribute to OSM. I haven't written anything other than the occasional script for years, so it feels good to help the community in ways like this instead.

I've sunk so many hours into it. Either "armchair mapping" with OSM and the imagery overlays, or (more fun) wandering with the android Street Complete app to fill in gaps when I'm out and about.

This thread about the most northerly The North sign might be of interest, and possibly even help :)

Is this a two Polaroid post?

Mr Goose! I love it. Makes me feel a bit old though. Hold on a minute, according to the RDS wiki page, I'm older than RDS. Damn!

Oh, and free access to RCR. What a nice surprise!

Great question. It's not teletext, but similarly adding digital data onto a traditional analogue FM signal.

Not sure where you are, but if you're in the UK, it's RDS that does the magic.

Given its age, it's a pretty awesome system!

On DAB, there is the possibility to have an EPG. The BBC broadcast an EPG for a while but so few radios made use of it, I don't think they still do.

That's not quite true... just less than half of voting Conservative party members voted for him, preferring instead the steady hand of Liz Truss. Well done there guys.

That's true. Hopefully the best thing about Baofeng is that it adds competition to lower the price of kit from more reputable manufacturers.

Update: They're coming! They're coming! Hurrah!

Not sure what sort of duck we saw on the way into Reading on the K&A, but it gave me a dirty look as we went by!
