more mapping yesterday (not sure how much) and today (15 miles).

Wednesday afternoon saw me ride to Belgrave and fill in gaps between my stuff there from Tuesday and what was there already, and then I went north of Gipsy Lane and did bits and pieces there as well. There's still a lot to do here, but the gap is narrowing.

Thursday afternoon, I mapped the West End of Leicester. This, like much of the Belgrave Road area, is a densely built-up area of terraced housing, and consequently is very intensive to map. I did nearly the entire section east of Fosse Road and north of the railway line.

After mapping Lake Toya [osm.org/?lat=42.6093&lon=140.8445&zoom=12&layers=B0FT] in Japan where the next Top G8 take palce, I started draw some rivers in Chile south of Osorno ([osm.org/?lat=-40.44&lon=-73.061&zoom=12&layers=B0FT])

Took a nice walk yesterday down the coastal path linking Paignton Harbour, Goodrington and Broadsands beaches and managed to map in most of the various side paths and tracks down to the different bays and beaches along the way. This linked in very well with some recent work done by "I Like Cats" on the Broadsands to Brixham section of the path.

My main bug bear is that the coastline doesn't seem to be very accurate and with lots of cliffs and rocky inlets I'm not really going to be able to improve it very much.

Also managed to extend the steam railway line as far as Churston. Probably going to have to wait for the railway to re-open after their Winter break before the remainder of the line to Kingswear can be mapped in.

Working with JOSM I recently stumbled often on orphaned nodes scattered in the Data Layers (which I downloaded from OSM). These are often located near or on streets (which sometimes are mapped) and have no tags.

What should I do with those, delete them?

Hi all.
I feel excited about this project so next days I will begin to map some streets and quarters of Málaga :)

I decided to write something in my diary every now and then because I don't want to think one day "Hmm, when was my first edit? When did I finish my home town? When have I last been to ...? Can't remember!"
(I know, you probably never really finish mapping any place. ;-) )

As far as I can tell, I made my first edit on January 22, 2008.
Although this is less than 4 weeks ago, it already seems very long to me as I think I've already mapped quite a bit of ground.
I'm primarily taking care of a part of Filderstadt which is south of the Stuttgart airport in Germany. There are some other people around me mapping as well.
Luckily, we have Yahoo maps of this area which really makes work much easier although there have already been changes here and there, naturally, since these images were taken (which was in 2005 or even 2004).

This afternoon I did 13.8 miles of mapping, which is about as much as I've done in a single session. St Matthew's was ticked off the list, as well as the Syston Street/Cobden Street industrial areas. I started going up the Belgrave/Catherine Street ladder but didn't quite link up with the existing stuff there.

Day off tomorrow. Thursday will probably be West End mappage.

After 1 month i managed to have a render form the tracklog...

I've organised a micro-mapping session in Leeds for this Sunday.

It's been organised through WYLUG but anyone can join in, WYLUGer or non-WYLUGer.

We're meeting at Becketts Bank (Wetherspoons) on Park Row, Leeds at 2pm on 24th Feb 2008 and I expect it to last until 5pm-6pm-ish.

Full details can be found at http://www.wylug.org.uk/2008/02/wylug-social-and-openstreetmap-session-sunday-24th-february-2008/

Чудех му се 2 месеца на това кръстовище и накрая се престраших да го направя. В събота след 2 часа мъки и чудене успях да го направя. Само се надявам да съм го направил правилно. През половината тунели никога не съм минавал...

In Leicester for the week. 12 miles mapping done in afternoon. Did bit of South Highfields and Evington Valley, such that there is now an area of continuous completion all the way from the city centre out to the eastern suburbs.

Started on Macclesfield.

Around 4km of roads mapped out today on my way to work.

;-)

My first edit - woo!

I added both Mitford Road and Simpson Grove but John's got the © on Simpson because he joined it to Hall Road afterwards.

Am finding JOSM to be a PITA and am off to see if I can get some guidance from some more experienced people on IRC. Failing that, I'll just collect some traces and fill them in after we have the OSM session on Sunday.

Which reminds me I need to organise that...

Jag är intresserad av att skriva ett reportage om mappare i göteborgstrakten... finns det några sådana, intresserade, här, så hör av Er till mig!

I've just started mapping the Torbay area in South Devon which previously was extremely sparse lacking even the main A roads.

I have an old Etrex Legend and have been using that on a bike mount to combine some exercise with collecting map data. I'm a Linux user and have been using gpsbabel together with a shell script from this site to pull the data from the Etrex which seems to be working great. So far I've mapped in most of the main roads and am then going to work out from where I live in Paignton.

Last week I bought a Holux M-1200 bluetooth GPS receiver which I hope to use with my Windows Mobile PDA (Acer N300). I've spent the last week loading various bits of PDA software trying to find the right one for me. The N300 has a VGA resolution screen which looks great but a lot of the software doesn't work properly with it.

Currently TrekBuddy looks good so I'll be trying that out over the next few weeks.

Any mapping help much appreciated.

Kartoitin Kajaanin kaupunkia aluella käydessäni. Keskusta on jo ihan mukavan näköinen.

I think I can say that I've completed the vehicular roads (ut not cycle or foot paths) for all of Armidale township that's north and east of the railway line. There are still some of the southern and south-western edges that I need to survey. These parts of town are not commonly visited by me so I need to make a special trip(s) to complete them.

I'm getting there!

[There are still some internal roads to map on the University of New England campus but that can wait until the current road-works there have been completed].

Hey, it's done!
I uploaded and mapped my first track, a beautiful of small roads and footpaths through natural reserves.

The mapping of the street names for the suburbs of Bruce and Kaleen is now complete (except when the street signs are missing). I have also added some map detail for University of Canberra gleaned from Yahoo images and a Campus layout sign at the entrance to UC.
