Cottingham in East Yorkshire has been claimed to be the biggest village in England. It certainly feels like a town when you're trying to map it. I have now covered all of the roads and some of the footpaths. There are quite a few shops to add as amenities, but schools, churches and pubs should be all correct. There are a surprising number of footpaths (no cycling signs everywhere).

You can now choose from several background layers in Potlatch.

Go to the options window (the little "tick" near the bottom left), and you'll see that the pop-up menu which used to offer only 'Yahoo' and 'None' now offers:

• OpenAerialMap
  
• Yahoo
  
• Mapnik
  
• Osmarender
  
• Maplint
  

OpenAerialMap is likely to be particularly useful. Not just because it's a great project in itself, but also because it uses the same low-res Landsat imagery as Yahoo - but enlarges it when you zoom in. So if you want to trace over enlarged Landsat, use this to replace the old Flash Player zoom.

(If anyone else has spherical Mercator GMaps-like tilesets that might work as a background image, let me know.)

Thanks to Christopher and Jon for configuring their servers (OAM/tah and tile respectively) so Potlatch can do this.

And for just one example of how it looks, go to osm.org/edit.html?zoom=16&lat=49.795&lon=15.445 and select OpenAerialMap!

It just took an update of the DejaVu font on tile to have the local Georgian names rendered (thanks jburgess):
osm.org/?lat=41.539&lon=43.896&zoom=9&layers=B0FT

I was looking at the map sources on Wikipedia for მცხეთა/Mtskheta (http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/geo/geohack.php?pagename=Mtskheta¶https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:ms=41_51_N_44_43_E_type:city), and it seems OpenStreetMap is the only online map which shows Georgia in local script. Quite cool.

I started to write a program which shows an OSM map and let the user choose which POI icons he wants to see and how big they shall be:

At the moment, only 4 icons are available. And the map works with Firefox, but refuses to work with IE or Konqueror. I hope I will have soon time to debug this issue.

I cover the area of Junglinster. My living area.

Took advantage of this weekend's excellent weather to get out on the bike and do some mapping - managed about 30 miles and filled in Turnford and the north-east corner of Cheshunt which helps to close the gap towards the work done by Steve8 coming out from Enfield into Hertfordshire.

I've started last week to work on Schifflange. Place were I'm living. I'm using GPS logs, Yahoo map and Photo for steets names.

By just looking at a 1:50000 map of the area left and right of the Autobahn A3 between Erkrath and Mettmann, I would have never considered cycling there. Just for completeness I went there to track some paths and found a very interesting area with many more ways than expected from the map. Again I was amazed how much more lifely the experience of a rather small area can be if you want to map all the tracks you can find there.

Still I have to go back there, because I could not finish everything. I must say, however, that I should have made the trip in summer. Quite a few tracks are still terribly muddy. Not that it really kept me out, but I am not exactly looking for this kind of experience.

More progress in the java applet to view OSM data...

Allowing keyboard browsing, going left, right, up, down, zoom in, zoom out and back to GPS fix.

Included NMEA decoding function (only GPRMC for now)

Still some stuff to go:
- Bluetooth serial link with GPS
- Caching of data into local database
- Reading Cell ID from GSM phone
- Automatic GPX upload as you go through unmapped places

Server needs:
- Cell ID database
- Real time traffic data from GPS users

at the bottom of the Grafenberger Wald. In addition I finally managed to connected the two ends of Bauenhäuser Weg. Now I am trying to upload from Josm, but the server seems to have an overload. It just doesn't move.

Has anybody thought of a server where you could have people uploading their current position, heading and speed to monitor the traffic and avoid traffic jams ? I'm thinking about implementing something along those lines, but I'm aware that the project will only benefit when there is a high number of people collaborating also. I'm also thinking about using the GSM cell tower info from the cellphones so that you could get a location fix without a GPS, but that's going to required the mapping of the cell towers. Anybody can help me out pointing to projects that try to address these ideas ? Thanks in advance, Diogo

Alueen kartoitusta..

Das schrie geradezu nach einer ausgiebigen Radtour, und in der Tat konnte man nur genießen. Auf der Tour von knapp 40km mitgekommen sind Feldwege nördlich Wettmershagen und im Ilkerbruch, ein Wohngebiet in Calberlah und der östliche Serviceweg am Elbe-Seitenkanal. Was für ein schöner Tag, und was für ein wunderbares Hobby.

I've been making progress with the mapping. I'm still using my OpenMoko phone: Neo1973 and I'm still loving it :)

But now there a beginning to come programs for the Neo which can use the map we all a making. This is just so cool. It's really fun cycling around, navigating the city with a map I've helped create. It makes me proud, and gives me a lot more willpower to just go out only tagging new roads.

My previous try to fix germanys bigges continous wood turned out to be more destruction than fixing. It was reverted by user rrissek.

It created some white tiles, and fixed others that were white before, giving a rather disappointing total.

I think I now understood the way it works - finally. The Harz outline has to go through every tile inside, and it is not enough if a segment goes throug the tile (I know, there are no real segments any more, but you know what I mean...). There has to be a node.

I think it was not very nice to modify the Harz itself (it has 473 nodes even without my fix). So my current try is based on new way inside the Harz, tagged as natural:wood. It has a node in every zoom 12 tile inside the harz, and should finally work. It may take some time to get rendered, because the T@H server is overburdoned right now.

Despite this, I uploaded about 20 gpx files that I missed until now, and traced the viallages around Wernigerode using Landsat images, tagging them landuse:residential.

Did some work on a suburb of Uppsala while listening do this weeks podcasts, Uppsala being one of the few places where yahoo has high resolution imagery in Sweden.
