Mapping of traffic Signals

Post by doc456tor »

Hello All. I was wondering if anyone had any good opinions on software that I could use to map all the different locations of traffic signals/signs on the Isle of Man (as that is where I come from) I was thinking of Google Earth but I am unsure if that has the required tools. Thanks in advance.

I expect the chaps in Fraggle Rock Highways :) have a list of lat/long or similar to map them.

They used to be in Peregrine House in Douglas, but I think there's been a rejig and they are part of "Infrastructure" now.

http://www.gov.im/about-the-government/ ... -services/ gives you there contact details.

OpenStreetMap allows the mapping of locations of traffic signals, although general mapping convention perhaps isn't to the level of detail you're after... (it depends really on what your're looking for!)

Is there no GIS software available, Greater Manchester use MapInfo.
