Adding details to lakes in the olympia, washington area
all tracks without description/tags deleted
remaining tracks are all public now
Started to delete my old untagged non public tracks,
they will be uploaded as public with description and tags again
I forgot to mark where the foot path became road when I got to the Llangennith end of the path. I also suspect that my little bit of road should be merged somehow with the other bit of road thats already there. The internal roads of the camp site need to be mapped still I think.
I also need to ask someone about the ruins up on the hill. I have a feeling that its an old radar station, but there are a lot of things there, so it might be more than that.
I got the bottom path and the top path, but the middle (i.e. behind the old rectory) is missing from the map still and also there are other paths over the top of the hill too.
Plus I added another road from three crosses as well. Not too bad for a days work although I wouldn't recommend the footpath from Llangennith up over the hill as it rises from near sea level to over 600ft in a very short space of time. We really need to have some contours on the maps :-)
Bored this morning so jumped on my bike an tracked the country road from Rothwell to Harrington village and back to Rothwell.

Tracked this morning
Tracked Inagh Valley this morning. Had to restart due to a dodgy gps link
I've spent a bit of time adding most of the lakes and a few rivers of Southern Peru to the map, mainly in the Arequipa district, tracing them from the Yahoo imagery. This area had pretty much no mapping at all until a few weeks ago (with the exception of Lake Titicaca), so it seemed appropriate to add a number of the basic geographical features. I've also added a few of the major volcanic peaks, but these don't seem to show up on the map. Hopefully this should provide a basic geographical framework for further mapping - the imagery isn't high enough resolution to be able to make out all the roads clearly (at least not the unpaved ones, i.e. the majority), but the mountains are pretty spectacular and valleys easy to follow.
A thought occurred to me - some of these places are very remote, and probably have never been accurately mapped. The advent of satellite imagery makes this possible for the first time.
Driving around north Gower I realise just how much is left to do in that area... lots of little villages, most of which don't appear on the map. Lots of odd tracks, paths and bridleways....
Il mio primo contatto con il progetto è stato in occasione dell'incontro con Paolo Cavallini di gFoss che ho organizzato come Piazza Telematica di Schio il 2 aprile 2008. La cosa mi ha subito appassionato, anche per i tanti collegamenti che ha con i miei interessi e i miei ambiti lavorativi.
L'occasione giusta per cominciare a dare il mio contributo si è presentata subito, con il primo Micro Mapping Party a Vicenza. Ora manca solo un data logger...
Started work on Saffron Walden yesterday, an Essex market town of about 15,000 people. Completed the town centre (north of George Street) and the north side of the town above Ashdon Road. That's about one third of the town so I think two more trips should do it.
I started the day on the little village of Wendens Ambo, though it was bigger than I thought, and rather short on street name signs. A bit remains to be done on Royston Road east of the station: the village is actually the location of Audley End railway station which has a huge car park, so all that's done now. Then moved on to Littlebury, a medium size village a few km north west of Saffron Walden. The bare bones were there but with errors. Once again a couple of streets with no visible name - frustrating - but otherwise now complete.
Landsat and npe helped my to get the outline of the Audley End Estate and woodland, but I'll need to refine some of this on future visits. Also added the two rail tunnels on the northern approach to Audley End station.
Mapper gained some kind of audio note taking system some weeks ago, and I finally had a chance to properly test it by doing some mapping, so I mapped the Kohmo and Pääskyvuori suburbs in Turku, a couple of days ago and it went pretty well after figuring out how to sync the audio note with my track in JOSM.
The only negative with audio notes is my own voice.. can't stand it. (And speaking to yourself in an empty car, feels a bit stupid)
I am finishing up my project to make a map of Clonmel soon as I have to get back to working in school starting Monday. I have not gotten every single point in town but I have all main and important roads, along with most estates surrounding.
I did not have a huge amount of time left by the end of the week so I do not have a lot of street names in, but I am putting up what little I managed to find over the last day or two. I will be finishing up now by adding my geotagged images (I am having a few minor problems with them) but that will be my last contribution to OSM for quite some time at least.
A big thanks to my Dad who introduced me to OSM and helped me along the way when needed.

von der Südlichen kann man nicht Richtung Norden in die Uhlandstrasse
oder umgekehrt.
Auch ein paar Ampeln auf der Südlichen
Actualmente non podo editar osm (non teño internet na casa) pero si que estou a recoller trazas.
Ata agora non as subía para non meter basura pero como vexo que estan aparecendo veciños activos creo que é millor que as suba.
Me queda revisalas para ver cales están ben, así que en breve espero que as teñades dispoñibles.
Un saúdo!!
Da kommt man nur noch zu Fuss drüber...
I confess to putting an Easter egg in the OpenStreetMap of the Vienna suburbs (osm.org/?lat=48.22152&lon=16.29188&zoom=17&layers=0BFT).
(Clue: One of the streets may have the wrong name.)
To eliminate it: go there and do your own survey! Do not corrupt your mind by looking at a commercial street map!
Summer has arrived (although still rather cold around here :) and it's time to get outdoors and do some rock climbing.
But I discovered that there seems to be no way to tag crags, routes, etc (well, there's the sport=climbing tag, but how to use it is rather ambiguous). So I've started putting together a set of tags:
osm.wiki/index.php/Proposed_features/Climbing
Representing vertical features is quite a difficult problem - at the moment I have opted to just mark the start of each route with a single node. However, I'm not sure how to show the difference between a path leading to the start of the route and one leading to the end - maybe the solution is to allow the use of ways to show the route, even though the start and end will often be practically on top of each other.
3º dia de cartografia de Vila Franca de Xira. Já vai bastante adiantada, só vou fazendo as ruas que tenho a certeza. Este fim de semana in loco fotografar todas as ruas para acabar a cidade e fica pronta. Quero também por muitos POIs.
third day in Vila Franca de Xira. Almost done this weekend to finish the minor streets and take pictures. Also to add last POIs.
