Сверявам типа на пътищата по http://www.bgmaps.com/, тъй като не разчитам на личната преценка на мен или останалите колеги, които се трудят върху картата на Русе.

I supply a map rendering and route-finding library called CartoType. I've now written a tool to convert OSM data to CartoType's native data format, which is very compact (the whole of Greater London fits in 6MB). This means that using map viewing programs that I shall put up on the CartoType web site (www.cartotype.com) anybody will be able to use OSM-derived maps on Windows Mobile devices without the need to be on line to the OSM server.

CartoType runs on ordinary Windows (XP etc.) Windows Mobile, Symbian OS and Palm OS.

We are currently uploading POIs for Metro Manila provided by jklinc of the http://www.freewebs.com/phroadguide/

Once this is complete, we have added more than 7,000 fuel stations, fasfood, buildings points, etc into the database.

There maybe duplicates and location errors so please feel free to verify and edit accordingly.

The City of Naga provides public domain wms/wfs for the whole city.

Thanks to Ivansanchez, we were able to import the dat to OSM. The features includes roads, rivers, railroads, schools, hospitals. More will come later.

However, some previous data we already uploaded by another contributor. This should be edited as there are duplicated ways as a result off the import.

I think possibly the island names are a bit too obvious on the T@H layer.

It was going so well, the sun was shining and I was finally adding in a couple of annoyingly missing residential roads, and mapping a few footpaths, etc.

Then I took a bridleway too far. I'm not sure quite how I should map it "surface = swamp" doesn't really express the 2 foot depth of wellington sucking mud. Unfortunately, about halfway I stopped making forward progress, and gently keeled over sideways into the quagmire. Fingers crossed that the phone and GPS logger have survived their unforeseen dunking. It's the first time I've had to prewash clothes with the garden hose :-)

Posted some tiles of progress on mapping UK canals at:
Canal map
Hope it is useful for checking gaps, errors etc, and for deciding where effort might be channelled (intentional pun).
Since posting I have digitised the gaps in the Kennet & Avon, so that is now complete.

Hello all,

I found this site yesterday while looking at the Google Summer of Code project list.

I'm really impressed by this project and the success that it has had so far. I will definitely be helping out with this project in any way that I can.

Yesterday I posted a message on boards.ie in the GPS section, Ireland's largest forum. Hopefully it might get some others involved.

Looking forward to seeing the maps getting more and more detailed!

Stephen.

Por ahora estoy subiendo rutas a marchas forzadas. Espero no cometer fallos muy gordos clasificando las rutas.

I wrote a report of yesterday's OpenStreetMap party in Kaohsiung, which was the first OpenStreetMap party in Taiwan: http://www.enricozini.org/2008/osm-taiwan.html

Spent this afternoon with Jon Schneider and another friend mapping part of Soham. Fairly successful exceot that our local host and tea provider decided not to be at home and we couldn't connect to his wireless access point from outside his house to enter the data. That and the two-way radios we were using didn't really have enough range to be useful while on foot. Three people, 3 laptops with 3 operating systems, 3 mobile phones and what seemed like a vast array of technology that should enable connectivity so we felt somewhat inadequate!

There's still a lot of Soham to do, it would have been better to cycle it rather than walk it. Will have to make a return visit or two, then on to the villages of Haddenham, Aldreth, Wilburton and Stretham which also need a fair bit of work.

When someone asks me what I did yesterday, well I just have to tell them. I spent the day making a map. I didn't think I would spend the entire day tracing GPS tracks but I did. From the first up load at noon, till the last at 9:30, It was even a nice -4 sunny day too. 32 trace files uploaded. 22,612 data points which means I just added about 226 km of new roads to OSM.

I'm even getting the hang of JOSM. I found my self fixing mistakes in the current map set. Not bad for someone who 2 weeks ago wasn't able to draw 2 sticks on the screen.

Well it's another warm -4 sunny day, time to get out and enjoy the sunshine.

Aka pushing the envelope

Yesterday I cycled 70km+ and given the start-stop nature of mapping, the hilly terrain and the fact that I had to lift my bicycle over numerous fences, it's definitely a new record for me. It's also the first time I filled my Etrex by cycling.

Now I'm uploading the new roads and JOSM frequently gives a "connection timed out" message. It's strange because post the Tiger import we should have lots of spare capacity on the server. I just hope no objects will be duplicated when I restart the upload...

Added the road Neunkirchen - Baad - Hetzles -
Pommer - Weingarts.

Since the village Gosberg was missing... bingo,
it's now on the map.

Added the road Hirschaid - Sassanfahrt - Seussling -
Trailsdorf.

Started to complete this area where a complete
waterway is missing (and some roads and tracks,
too).

There is a steep inclining road also. I am a
bit unsure if I tagged it correct...

-knottytom

Improved Eltze a bit and added some streets to minor villages around Eltze (Uetze, Dollbergen, Hänigsen :-) )

While crossing it with my MTB I added some streets and the
pedestrian area in the inner city, which was the former
main street (now closed for any traffic).

Also: Cinema, town hall and parking area (Paradeplatz)

-knottytom

Oops, there are more roads in Neuses/Eggolsheim. Started to
track the rest of it.

Decided to have a look at some lakes and a quarry which I had drawn using the Yahoo images. There are a number of important-sounding roads in the area such as Lower Westfield and Prospect Avenue. In actuality, few of them are passable. The lakes are part of the City of Holyoke water supply. All of the roads thru the area have gates, most of which are closed. Prospect Avenue has a bridge out.

I would like to remove the part of Prospect Avenue where the bridge is out, but getting to it may be difficult since the turn toward the former bridge is closed. I may have to do it on foot. It is not clear what the bridge crosses.
