Пока сидел и ждал решил поправить и добавить улицы в районе Дегунино. Благо NMEA лог под ругой был от PocketGIS.
Только что-то внесённых изменений ещё не видно на карте...

Here I am. Still fresh and having a very limited knowledge on OSM, but hopefully I will contribute to the project in the future.
There was no interest in maps I had until very recently when I was trying to find an idea for my final project in Goldsmiths College. So after some time I decided to create the application which will compute the shortest route. Although there are some programs which already to this I could not find anything which would find the route for a cyclist. The difference is that when cycling one would like to avoid busy roads and stay on cycle routes wherever possible. There are some other factors which cyclist would take into account, but I am not going to go into details now.
Having the idea I needed some geospatial data which would allow me to accomplish the task. And that is how I found OSM project. It gives me exactly what I need to develop my ideas.
As I am a beginner programmer I realize that the project can be to overwhelming for me, but why not to give it a try. I noticed that there was an event called Google Summer of Code and one of project proposals is almost exactly the same as mine which is good because there is somebody I could exchange my ideas with.
OK that is all for now. I will try to keep updating this diary as I go.

Hi, I'm a bit confused, I have a windows mobile based device with built in GPS, I'm a courier, and have been looking for an open source map to be able to map housenames to, the area i'm in isn't covered at all, i'm willing to edit in most of it as i drive it everyday, if someone can suggest an app for me to use that will work with windows mobile to trace routes.

I was thinking of writting an app myself to make down road names, start and end, house names/numbers etc.

any feedback appricated :)

Can you add house names to this? that is one of the most useful features as a courier, I currently have 185 house names mapped as poi's in my tomtom, is there anyway to import them into the database?

Also this may sound crazy, but is anyone writing a satnav that can use this map?

I've added the streets with name for the following streets and hamlets in Luxembourg : Lintgen, Gosseldange, Prettingen, Schoenfels, Keispelt, Meispelt, Kopstal, Kehlen, Mamer, Dondelange, Quatre-Vents, Direndall, Bour, Tuntange, Greisch, Simmerschmelz, Roodt/Eisch, Septfontaines, Hollenfels, Ansembourg and Marienthal.

Ich habe heute Eisenstadt (speziell FH Gelände) etwas erweitert und korregiert.

With the mapping of the entire N5 from Longford to Westport, as well as the N26, there's just one gap in the N17 to fill in and all primary routes in Mayo are complete.

I've been filling in detail on Westport, Castlebar, Ballina and Swinford, trying to get street names and one-way systems as accurately as I can. I've also been studying the SIs carefully to make sure the N and R roads are accurately mapped through the towns.

My first GPS track edited. I hope it to be in the map soon.

Cycle tracks and pedestrian's ways compleded at Spektesee. Memorial concentration camp Sachsenhausen, branch office Falkensee with ways registered.

I have been travelling around Pozuelo, Madrid, uploaded a track and found out that the GPX importing queue extends to more than 14 hours!

I visited Tasmania recently and added a section of the Channel Highway south past Kettering, and the road over the hill from Woodbridge to Cygnet.

I am working on a perl script which can fix a "braided street" in US TIGER data, as described at

osm.wiki/index.php/TIGER_fixup

It is a command-line tool which will download and fix the ways and produce a file which you can open in JOSM to verify and upload.

It should be ready for others to try out within the next few days.

Ideally it would be a JOSM plugin, but I don't know Java. Yet. This just may be the project that pushes me to learn it.

Dear Admins,

I do not know if it is possible to develop a "period of time/traces upload limit" (by file weight, since the number of points is not determined till later, and the numbers of traces is not a reliable way of measuring it, with the software that I am using to track with my BB I hardly make a file with more than 700 points). I have been checking why there are so many queued files today (with a queue of more than 7 hours), and checking the list found that the user Romania Tracks uploaded tens (if not hundreds) of traces ranging from 4.000 to 12.000 points each, obviously delaying the queue. I seriously doubt that he or she is going to use all those points (We are talking of at least a couple of hundred thousands) in the short term, so I really do not see any use in uploading all of them at once, delaying all the rest of the users work.

Thank you very much for reading this

I got my GPS unit today, ordered of eBay. It's a Garmin etrex Legend Cx and is smaller and prettier than I imagined.

I took it out for a walk around the neighborhood and uploaded a track with some footpaths around Giljahverfi in Akureyri.

Tänään piirsin Joensuusta - Lappeenrantaan gps:llä nauhoittamani junamatkan loppuun. Lappeenrannassa tuli vastaan etelelästä piirretty raide

le centre historique de Bordeaux est loin d'être fini mais les rues (enfin... 95% des rues du centre) ont été tracées (merci Yahoo)

Reste à s'équiper et à parcourir en rollers toutes les petites rues (sauf celles ou il y a des pavés) de bordeaux à la recherche des ch'tites plaques bleues

Acum lucrez la Baile Felix deja am acoperit o gramada de stradute, daca mai sunteti din zona asta va rog sa contribuiti si voi la Oradea,Baile 1 Mai, Santandrei, Cihei si altele. Keep up the good work and we will be better than IGO :)

Kleine Schwarzwaldrunde mit dem Mopped am 20.4. Ein paar kleine Straesschen sind im Schwarzwald noch dazugekommen, ein paar Korrekturen, und in Oberndorf a.N. war doch schon Bundesstrasse da. Bleibt trotzdem ein ziemlich toter Fleck dort...

Just found out I accidentally erase part of wilson st. oooppsss, sorry about that. and hopefully by the end of this day i will be able to finish the whole of greenhills.

Nachdem ich nun schon mehrmals Abens bzw. Nachts im Dunkeln
allein mit meinem GPS Gerät durch den Knoops Park in St. Magnus gestiefelt bin,
habe ich das tolle Wetter dazu genutzt um die letzen Winkel und Ecken zu erfassen.
Im Nord und West Teil hat mir ja schon jemand die Arbeit abgenommen,
aber der Südwestliche Teil ab der Brücke bzw. dem Steinberg habe ich mir vorgenommen.
Dabei ist es garnicht so einfach wie man denkt einen so verwinkelten Park
mit all seinen kleinen verzweigten Wegen, Treppen und Steigen zu erfassen.
Vorallem weil man trotz bestem GPS Empfang bei mehrmaligem begehen eines Weges
mindestens zwei verschiedene Tracks bekommt, die mehrere Meter auseinander liegen.
Dennoch glaube ich die Wege nun halbwegs gut erfasst zu haben,
aber ich glaube das werde ich in einer Woche mit der OSM Karte auf meinem Garmin
nocheinmal überprüfen.

Auf meinem 17 Kilometerrundgang kam ich bis in den Stadtgarten in Vegesack,
den ich gleich mal mit den wichtigsten Wegen und Treppen mit eingetragen habe.
Und auch auf dem Weg dorthin hat noch die ein oder andere Erweiterung ihren Weg
in die OSM gefunden.
Ich denke nun mache ich mal wieder ein paar Tage Pause. ;)
