Put in a fair amount of data, and Viola! Tiger was conflated on top of it, I guess thats what you get when your in a hurry : ( I thought I'd go back in and clean it up. Relearning the J.O.S.M. thingamabob. Played on the user profile the map doohickey seems to need some help, the map on this blog is also on the fritz. I wonder what Tiger 2010 will bring.

Spent half an hour (or so) walking around the Artillery Lane and Petticoat Lane (Wentworth Street) area, filling in some of the little alleys and naming some roads. There has been and continues to be a lot of building work in the area so the arial images don't show exactly what's on the ground, but are good enough to get an idea of where the ways should go. It's a real warren!

Such is my lack of motivation to get out of bed when I don't really need to...

I'm busy on Friday so going to Shrewsbury on Saturday instead.

For now I'll map the area around Harborne I intended to do yesterday but ended up going to Selly Oak instead (sister wanted to try cycling her journey to work, with the result that I bought a new bike pump and cycle lock while passing Halfords). Apparently it took forty minutes to cycle 3 miles...

So if anyone wants to join me in Shrewsbury on Saturday, you've got a little more notice. Leave a comment/message and I'll try and set out a timetable.

Have been working on website for Valle San Giovanni (http://vallesangiovanni.com)

Yesterday we added much of the Wold Road area of Hull to the map. This was badly hit in last year's floods and it is still a mess. See my blog for more.

Got back from skiing in Isola 2000, France on Saturday. While I was there I managed to get GPS tracks of most of the Green, Blue and Red runs and took waypoints at the bottom and top of all the lifts. From what I saw of the black runs I didn't fancy them (very mogully) so someone else will have to do them another day. Slightly annoyed to realise I missed out just one lift (PARCS) on the last day so that'll remain off the map. Entered all the lifts with JOSM at the weekend and traced the piste tracks earlier this week, so now waiting for it to show up on the slippy map.

It was fun trying to "complete" the resort, gave another purpose to the week.

First set of edits.

Whilst correcting a cul-de-sac near me I managed to delete a whole street (sorry Welshie), which I've replaced now.

Added in Edgware bus station and a few service roads near there.

Marked Hendon Cemetery as such rather than golf course... Marked Golders Green crematorium.

Here I am :-)

Have started to fill in the area around Coffs Harbour. Fairly new to GPS and mapping but having fun doing it.
The project will move slowly but surely as I make tracks as I work and on weekends.

Tonight I started mapping some small parts of Schönaich. Will try to continue
this over the next weeks, if time allows.

(Copied from my personal blog)

We held our first WYLUG(ish) Open Street Map micro-mapping event on Sunday and it went well.

Six of us - me, John, Paul, Tim, Simon and Rob - went out mapping and then we went back to Dave's afterwards to start turning the traces into maps.

It was the first OSM event I've organised but I had some advice from Tim (aka chippy) about timings etc and I think it worked out ok. We met for about half an hour to decide where we were all going and we decided on filling in some blank spots around East Leeds. I'd printed out maps and highlighted areas I thought needed attention, and once we'd double-checked no other speedy Leeds-er had filled in our selected spots between me printing the maps out in the early hours of Saturday and us meeting on Sunday afternoon, we headed out.

C'est un test

On 25.02.2008 I was able to identify all streets listed on www.pscpsc.sk for Bratislava suburb Vajnory (ZIP/PSC code 83107).

A little distracted by the earthquake last night so didn't get much sleep. Going tomorrow (Thursday) instead. Same plan.

Mapping out towards Harborne today instead. A few long residential streets I started to do on foot yesterday after getting locked out of the house. Gave up because I don't have the patience to walk long streets when I could cycle them in 1/4 of the time!

Managed to get back to Grantham today, so I have now mapped the new sliproads for the A1 Northbound, and added a small section of the B1174 heading towards Allington (although I didn't get that far). I've added the new A1 Southbound section, although I've left the sliproads as they were as it's not yet clear whether these will be moved / realigned by the roadworks.

I've recently got a got in Shrewsbury (web developer at Mutiny Desgin) and am going to be commuting by train from Birmingham. Obviously this gives me the opportunity to map various bits of the town after work.

I'm heading up tomorrow (Wed 27th Feb) to try out the journey, taking the bike in order to complete some of NCN 81. I'm happy to meet anyone that wants to come and do a bit, whether they've ever done any mapping before (but I don't have a GPS so you'll have to supply one), although I realise it very short notice and most people have work.

I'll be doing the trip out towards the Oxon Business Park, towards Bicton Heath, (since this is where I'll be working). While there I'll map the business park itself, then head back towards town joining the NCN 81 at the first available opportunity, getting off it by the train station. Then heading back the other way I'll finish off inside the loop of the river before rejoining NCN 81 and following it as far as I can (hopefully as far as Telford.

Is the plan. Weather permitting.

Done some work on the Grunewald in Berlin. There appears to be a whole network of bridleways in addition to the tracks and footpaths. It seems that in order to get a useful and complete map, there is a need for distinguishing between major and minor tracks and footpaths. For now, I hope to use the track surface (surface=dirt) to mark minor tracks, which should render less prominently.

The Grunewald is covered in a grid of rectangular pieces called "Jagen", and there's often tracks along the borders. These borders are usually clearly visible from the Yahoo aerial imagery, but they're not always actual tracks, so there's a few false tracks in the map currently. Maybe these should be entered as forestry=ride or similar? Can anyone point me to forest areas that have been mapped in detail?

There's also a whole network of bridleways waiting to be discovered. Any horse-riding mappers in Berlin?

I've tried adding the various lakes as holes to the Grunewald-multipolygon which turned out not to do what I wanted (for osmarender at least). I'll wait a bit to see what mapnik does before fixing these.
