Got EventLogger installed on my TomTom and went for a test drive with louisa_parry. Things look ok except it seems to be logging only every 5 seconds even though I set it to 1 second. I'll sort that out.

Uploaded a couple of roads and changed a few bits. JOSM takes a while to get used to. Will try using it as the gps recorder next with my USB gps widget.

I grew up in this area, so I'm familiar with most of the streets there.

Just using NPE to get outline plan in place quickly. Named some streets from memory (always dodgy). I have a feeling that there may be two Ts in Lidget Lane :-)

Did some GPS traces while working for AOL in Dublin. Put them on the map!

I've split out some of the information relating to Scotland from WikiProject United Kingdom to WikiProject Scotland.

The list of towns on the towns on the main UK page is getting a little unwieldy. Perhapses it is an idea to split into smaller sub-page areas - size depending on the level of activity in the area?

Also there are plans for an informal pub meetup in Glasgow on Monday 25th @ The Counting House from around 7pm.

Been naming the streets in Halswell today that were on the map and updating some of them. There are a lot from new streets subdivisions that are not on the Yahoo overlay so a mapping trip in the bike will be needed to confirm some details. This will be in March when my GPS arrives.

I've been tracing Yahoo images to the streets of Hoon Hay and Hillmorton today. This is my home area. There are still plenty more to do and I'll be working on these over the next few weeks.

Having fun with a Garmin 305. Also implemented a photo search on http://www.routiki.com this week.

I have just acquired my brand new Nokia E90 and so am more or less ready to start this ampping malarkey...

I have just acquired my brand new [http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4353371|Nokia E90] and so am more or less ready to start this ampping malarkey...

last week I have mapped a residential area in Köln Mauenheim with most of the streets beeing living_streets (Spielstraße).
Now, everything is rendered (both with Mapnik and Osmarenderer) but not in a really satisfactory way, it looks like the streets are rendered using the same color as the residential-landuse color.

To my surprise, power lines and power towers are now rendered in some Mapnik zoom levels. thanks! Is it possible to render power sub-stations as well?

started 3 days ago with openstreetmap

I recently discovered that there now is Yahoo imagery for Gothenburg and I couldn´t help but starting editing right away. The coastline looks like a feasible challenge.

Bin seit ein paar Monaten dran, die Fernverbindungen sollten in der Zwischenzeit halbwegs fertig sein.

a "micro" mapping party, ending with the WYLUG social, to map parts of Leeds. Looking forward to it.

It's now 3.19am and I can't let the last two nights' effort go without showing something of what I've been working on...

There's huge amounts of code tidying to do, plus calibration for every single sheet, before I can get England and Wales complete and ready to upload. And even this is only on one zoom level (14). But it all gets easier from now on!

For the past weeks I've been using public domain maps in mapping roads in Mindanao.

Now most major roads are visible in the map.

3 tags are added: highway, FIXME and source.

I have a rough documentation on the process (will add more detail in time).

Overlaying ways on LANDSAT, I'm not really satisfied with the results some ways are way off by tens of meters. But the general geometry is OK. I will be editing further using landsat. Is there any way to cache landsat for offline JOSM editing?

cheers,

Well I've got my Logic Gear SL350F GPS sorted out and saving track logs. So I've begun mapping around Campbelltown and home. I've uploaded the tracks.

I've also installed JOSM and used it to fix a couple of things near home.

Fun awaits

testeintrag, bitte schnell weiterblättern, danke.

Ok, now, a lot of stuff got done these last 2 days:

- Offline mode ! Yes ! Now I can browse the map without actually overloading the server at every single request. It's very slow, though, I have to improve the way I load the map data into the memory. On the plus side, for a 15 sq km area from my central location, I only download 427 KB off the server, and it's a one-time download.

- Only draw ways that matter depending on your zoom level, so if your looking at the city from very far, you only see the main roads. As you increase the zoom level, the minor roads are drawn too. Remember that I'm drawing this dynamically all the time, I'm not downloading tiles from the server, you only connect to the server once.

- Some other minor stuff: Drawing the nodes on the map (depending on zoom level); proper aspect ratio calculation when drawing the map, so if you have a non-square screen on your cell, you see the map without distortion; keyboard-based browsing of the map, including zoom in, out and gps lock.

That's pretty much it.

I'm still trying to figure out a way how I can release the source code and the program and still make money from it, but that's for another topic some time.

Still, a lot to go !

Good night,
Diogo
