A further 17 mile run last Sunday added an additional chunk of Cheshunt to the map and allowed me to push down into Waltham Cross and reach the A121 thus making contact with the work already done by Steve8 for the first time.

I completed mapping the area to the east of the B176 and Steve8 has since done most of the area to the west, as far as the A10. Only the park remains to be mapped to the east of the A10.

I got my Sustrans Ranger pack at the weekend. I'm taking on Regional Route 62 which runs nearly 20km between Birmingham to Sutton Coldfield currently but is not yet signed as part of the NCN. So to kick start the process of getting it signed I did a route survey and report http://ajr.hopto.org/sustrans/RR62%20Conditions%20Assessment%20Survey.pdf which has gone to the local Ranger Liaison officer and the area Sustrans manager. I've set a goal of getting temporary signing for the full length done by the start of the school holidays. Maybe a tall order but its worth having something to aim for. Most of the route is already in OSM as RR62 but the run into Birmingham allowed me to complete a missing section of the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal towpath. RR62 on the cycle map is at

Lang genug war ich enttäuscht, dass meine Heimatstadt Bad Camberg im Taunus noch ein (fast) "weißer Fleck" war.

Nach einem intensiven Wochenende hat sich das nun geändert. Es bleiben noch einige Straßen (vor allem im Kurviertel der Kernstadt) und viele Details zu bearbeiten. Von den eingemeindeten Orten habe ich Dombach eingegeben. Zu Oberselters habe ich schon alle Tracks; ich muss sie aber noch eingeben. Erbach und Würges fehlen noch (fast) ganz; vielleicht findet sich da ja jemand (ansonsten werde ich in den Sommerferien mich daran machen).

Сегодня проехался на машине, попутчиком, по Стачки, Зорге, Ерёменко, через новый мост, центр, Сельмаш и домой.

Каким-то образом GPS из двух спутников сделал 3D привязку и ошибка была 1.0 - 1.2.

Потом решил убрать "двойные точки" и у меня заглючил редактор, не мог перестать рисовать линию и кнопка DEL не работала. :(

Since version 0.9a Potlatch doesn't react on pressing and keys anymore (or in more than 90% of all cases - sometimes it still works). So in Hameln/Germany I tagged a wrong road as motorway (there's no motorway/Autobahn in Hameln), because I cannot delete it.

It would be nice if this problem can be fixed soon.

Been catching up on processing my gpx logs in JOSM, and then uploading the logs after ways have been created and tagged appropriately.

I need to do less driving and more processing of logs I think - 9 days of driving around the country between the 20'th of March 2008 and the 24'th of April 2008 for a total distance of 2138.18 kilometers, or 1328.60 miles for you decimalsystem challenged people in the colonies and the UK - Thats a lot of trackpoints logged on a 50 ccm scooter - And a lot of data to tag.

So, habe ich gestern hier Angemeldet und
will in den nächsten Monaten meinen Heimatort Neu-Ulm/Ludwigsfeld
der hier auf Openstreetmap nur ein grauer Kasten ist Kartografieren.

Hardware werde ich am Anfang mein TomTom mit Travelmaster Benutzen aber
später werde ich mir ein eigenen GPS-Datenlogger bauen.

Gruß,
Glacier

I have just finished updating my village and the one next door, I have a few foot paths a bridal way to finish off but otherwise pretty much complete.

What was funny today was, I found a footpath I have not known about, and I must have walked past the entrance to it 40 times. I am finding out quite a lot about my area.

My next plan is to map the streets in the south of Didcot as most of these are not done, and then move onto the Ladygrove estate.

A note to any and all budding OSM people in the Dewsbury area or indeed anyone using the national cycle network round here (route 66).

I have just been out surveying and am unhappy to report that the end of my latest trace should be tagged "trace terminated due to mugging". Seems the assualt by a group of youths, which was completely unprovoked on my part, was not for theft purely a random act of violence.

So just to repeat any OSMers in the Dewsbury area, be careful people.

Im just trying this out to see how it works.

Note: My target audience is anyone who wants to travel by bike across Canada
Mainly taking the Awesome Trans Canada Trail. What i have done is connected all of the official trail segments, (as the trail is not complete) and made it easier to get on and off the trail right across the country. My map is available online
AcrossCanadaTrails.blogspot.com

Iĺl update this page later once i learn more about this website.
Feel free to call me at 250 588 9041 if your in the area and perhaps you want to bike the Trans Canada Trail, i can certainly help you :)

Just back from the cycle ride - we aimed to get part of the the National Cycle Route 51

osm.wiki/index.php/Bletchley_to_Bedford_cycle_ride

Hopefully we have recorded all of that cycle route which exists. The round-trip distance (for me) was 65 miles. Shaun McDonald is (as of 8pm) setting-off for his return trip cycling back to Bletchley, so wish him luck getting back okay.
