Exeter

Exeter is a city in Devon at latitude 50°43′12.00″ North, longitude 3°30′36.00″ West. This page refers to the city in England. For other uses, see Exeter (disambiguation).

Exeter

A city in the South West of England. Capital city of Devon with a population of around 122,000 people. Mapping is generally good here although there are a number of streets that need to be completed. Exeter is a transition town and a cycle demonstration city. As a result it has an excellent cycle network which may be viewed through the Cycle Map.

State of the Map

The city and surrounding places are largely complete but there are a few outstanding roads that need to be added. A list of roads will appear with what I think is missing.

Missing Streets

This is hopefully a fairly comprehensive list of streets but may include OSM spelling mistakes or mis-named streets (e.g. Street instead of Close for a named street). It may exclude new developments and a few small "courts" that exist off other streets. Exonia Park at the top of Exwick is known to be missing. There are several streets in there.
