Rode some mopre of the South Coast Cycle Route from Middleton to Aldwick. Either the peopel who put the signs up were deranged, or the local Bognor Chavs have been rearranging them creatively, so I'm not 100% I have the right route. On top of that confusion, I got soaking wet on the way back and had to stop off and ask a friend for a lift (yeah, I know, wimp).

Ribbesbüttel ist straßenmäßig komplett; die Feldwege drumherum sind noch nicht komplett - da fehlt einfach schöneres Wetter.
I just signed up for openstreetmap! Now I just have to figure out how to use this dang thing. Oh, how I wish the map of San Francisco didn't look so crappy.
I've opened a new blog specifically for Potlatch tips, tricks, news and development insights (ha).
Find it at potlatchosm.wordpress.com.
Mit einem ausgeliehen GPS (Garmin foretrex 101) bin ich zu Fuss und mit dem Velo meiner in meiner Umgebung unterwegs und sammle Daten. Falls jemand Tipps und Hinweise zu meiner Arbeit hat, sind die immer gerne willkommen.
I've been working as a web developer in Shrewsbury for 2 weeks now. Just a couple of hours ago I agreed to the terms of a flatshare. So within the next week or two I'll be moving in to the Monkmoor area.
Currently I appear to be the only OSMer anywhere near Shrewsbury, something I hope to change.
If anyone wants to come up for any mapping, do let me know. I can't offer anywhere to stay but will be happy to meet up and provide any assistance required.
Finally I could trace Eltze and put it into openstreetmap.
Ich habe schon ne genze menge hier in Bremen gemacht. :)
Erst meine Gegend in Oslebshausen, dann die Industriehäfen,
das Gebiet Riedemannstr., Reiherstr., und den Freihafen als Industriegebiet markiert und dort überall die Straßen und den Großmarkt eingetragen.
Das gebiet der Stahlwerke und die Wiesen zwischen Lesum und Weser markiert,
und die Straße entlang der Lesum und den Ökopfad eingetragen.
Ebenso die Kleingärtengebiete zwischen A27 und dem Maschienenfleet,
in Walle und hinten in Wartum markiert.
Den Neustädter Hafen und das GVZ markiert, dort alle Straßen eingezeichnet,
die Schuppen im Neustädter Hafen eingezeichnet und benannt.
Und nun auch noch vom Waller Friedhof bis zum Diako einen Großteil der Gröpelinger
Straßen eingetragen.
Zwischen durch mal hier und mal dort rumgewurschtelt.
Ein Paar sachen habe ich mit meinen GPS Tracks gemacht.
Das meiste habe ich allerdings mit dem Yahoo Satellitenoverlay in Potlach gemacht.
Ich kenne mich in Bremen ja auch ganz gut aus.
Sicherlich sind nicht alle Straßen auf Einbahnstrassen etc. gecheckt.
(vorallem in Gröpelingen zwischen Halmer Weg und Schwarzer Weg und entlang der Sewenjestr.)
und die eine oder andere Straße habe ich zwischendrin vergessen oder erstmal nicht beachtet.
Aber es ist schon ein ganzer Haufen Arbeit gewesen.
Aber das wichtigste es macht immernoch Spaß! ;)
I'm going to Hemsedal this saturday to ski and party. The map looks a bit empty so I plan to map at least the pistes and lifts and if I have time, some roads.
(Any other fi mapper going there with Hupellus ?)
Well seeing as I live there I might as well start there.
Basically been adding names to roads based on my knowledge of the area, also adding land marks and local features (schools, churches, etc). Also traced a few roads from the Yahoo imagery as I'm waiting for my GPS to arrive. When it does I intend to go round and get data for all the roads and footpaths.
Might even get my bike out.
Much to my surprise, much of the area around Rivington and the West Pennine Moors had not been mapped at all prior to today.. Improvements have been made.
Added some streets and villages around Heiligenstadt.
That streets are part of an area which is called
'franconian switzerland'. Nice area to do some moun-
tainbiking, btw. Yeah, I will add some tracks when
summer has come, at this time it all looks more like
a big swamp (hard to get through w/ my MTB)... ;-)

Added some tracks around Forchheim. Used my MTB. This
way through the forest is one of my favorite (easy)
downhill tracks near my home.
I discovered --- after some confusion --- that there
a whole waterway section is missing... will be there
in some days. ;-)

Je viens de digitaliser la route de la Saune depuis Quint Fonsegrives jusqu'à Ste Foy d Aigrefeuille !
I've got my work cut out for me. There are gaps of hundreds of kilometers that
need to be mapped. I don't even want to count the number of cities that are missing. Thankfully my job requires me to work in various places, so hopefully I will be able to connect some of the missing areas.
Stay tuned, I think part of Southwestern Ontario, Canada is going to look a little more populated.
Wow, the new lakes have been rendered. It looks very promising, but there is still much work to be done.
I just made trip from Zagreb to Sv. Martin in Croatia and also from Zagreb to Ljubljana and Logatec in Slovenia and back. So, if you think you can help mapping these points - feel free to do it. Just go to my traces and edit.
Finally Basingstoke Town FC are on the map :-)
Added a couple more roads and footpaths -- have been making steady progress in SW Basingstoke over my lunch hours :-)
First time I've been "robustly challenged" while mapping -- apparently I looked suspicious -- which I guess is likely when you're wandering round cul-de-sacs (wearing a baseball cap).
Unfortunately, I had to delete some "experimentation" that seems to have happened near Basingstoke station -- luckily only a few untagged zigzag ways, a spare point or two and a moved point on a footpath -- only spotted it when I switched on MapLint. Similarly, it looks like a nice long road I'd added in Kingsclere has been deleted and re-added in a new "colour" -- unfortunately, the side roads weren't reconnected onto it. I hope I've remedied the situation to everyone's satisfaction, if not -- drop me a mail on here.
In the weekend I cycled up to Dyers Pass above Christchurch and then east along the Summit Road to Port Hills Road. This was the first time I've used JOSM to edit the map and the first time I've used my new GPS to add data to the map. Some photos I experimented with geotagging using GPS Correlate can be seen here

I then mapped the walk way through Canterbury Park, not far from my home. I hope to get out and do some more mapping over the Easter weekend.
The number of mapped lakes keeps on growing. This will really look great in a month or two.
