I've been experimenting with using the geojson data for a personal project.
I had expected that filtering places with {"layer": "locks"} would give me a complete set of locks, and it /almost/ does.
Unfortunately not quite though, for example this lock at Audlem (https://canalplan.org.uk/place/lqsj) is also tagged as having a milepost which puts it into "layer: "features".
{
"type":"Feature",
"geometry": {
"type":"Point",
"coordinates":[-2.50950643793115,52.977414618419999]
},
"id":451117,
"properties": {
"title": "Audlem Lock No 17",
"cp_id":"9o31",
"icon":"cp-milepost",
"layer":"facilities",
"cp_rotate":0
}
}
That seems to make it impossible to identify or label all locks from the data files - to determine which are actually locks it would be necessary to individually scrape each location page which would be antisocial.
In general a lot of information about places that I was hoping to use is omitted from the geojson data. Would it be possible to export a bit more?
Thanks,

Can you raise this as a bug/feature request.
I have done so -

Sorry for the delay, the nice weather has had me painting a boat this week...
