Haha, feel like I should have clarified that... definitely not what I was dreaming of as a 5 year old. And definitely more a work goal than life goal...

...and of course all the work of the team...with irritating steers from me along the way.

Did this on some of the census mapping too, but exactly for the reasons you highlighted (not wanting to focus on individual properties). It's from OS Zoomstack...I think district buildings, then allowed overzoom once you get to a point where it would ordinarily switch to buildings.

And good to see you, virtually! Working in London now...we should catch up at some point.

Also sort of inadvertently included a lot of schools too...came with OS Zoomstack. Think they are also quite helpful as local landmarks many would know. Also seemingly quite a strong educational user base...so useful for seeing catchment areas.

Yep. We did some user testing along the way, and people were struggling to pinpoint where they were within an area - and what was/wasn't included in their selected area. Road names helped.

Love it. I think this could replace the capcha "select images with bicycles in them" method.
