It’s a great tool. Glad you are investigating. You might try to make an edit by adding a shop that’s missing from the map. It’s easy with the ID built in editor.

Mapeando com o osmtracker

I’m always looking for a better tracker. Unfortunately I have an Iphone. Nice to see people developing apps to help gather OSM data. Nice work.

From Windhoek to Luanda

Wow, you’ve done a lot of work in a few months. I took a look at your activity at

http://hdyc.neis-one.org/

Thanks for contributing so much.

Done With Chiapas Corner!!!

Nice work. I got interested in your project and added some detail to the hamlet of Puerto del Varal

osm.org/#map=16/17.7074/-99.9487

One day, someone in that place will see his home on a map and add some more detail.

It’s fun to look in depth at places all over the world.

Thanks for motivating me to take a look around Guerrero.

Houses

I took a look at Corinth and see why you wrote your diary entry. In Massachusetts we imported from the state GIS all of the building outlines. I added three houses to your map, there must be thousands more to draw. You might take a look at JOSM and the building plug-in. It’s a big time saver. Good luck with your project.

How many HOT contributors never complete their first task?

I’ll bet you have a lot of new contributors who clicked on “done” because they were done, not because the task was done. I was one of them. Now I rarely mark a task is done because it would take too much time to scroll through the entire area at a high zoom level.

Walking along Tavelsjöleden

Thanks for mapping and posting. I enjoyed taking an armchair look at the site.

Mapping Party in Butuan, Agusan del Norte

Very interesting. You just motivated me to ask a friend in Concord Massachusetts if he would like to add data to his home town in the Philippines. Thanks for posting

Maimon

I looked at your town and mapped the river to the bing image. Looks like a nice place to live. Have fun mapping.

Improving the OSM map - why don't we? [9]

I’ve enjoyed reading your diary entries. Thanks for pointing to Jochen’s blog. He’s gave a very clever guy and gave a well received talk at the SOTM US 2015 which you can watch at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2L5wzv8DHw

Getting To Know Openstreetmap

Thanks for mapping. I’m glad you like it, and you are correct, it does help. Thousands of roads were added to OSM in Nepal after the earthquake in just a few weeks.

This is good !

It’s great that you found OSM. I agree, it’s awesome, and your mapping is a great service to your community.

Global Validation Procedure

Nice work. I like your procedure. It caused me to checkout “Presets–>Search for objects by preset” . This JOSM search will be very useful to me and your blog caused me to try it for the first time. Thanks for writing this diary entry.

Designing a compact and legible city map

Nice work. Looks good to me.

Nice work. Looks good to me.

Belgian Mapper of the Month: Escada

Wow! Thanks for posting, and especially for including links to resources. I might be able to get my dog owner friends interested in mapping by showing them your doggy map. For myself, I’m going to figure out how to read http://blog.openstreetmap.de/ in english.

Massachusetts Lake/Pond Cleanup

I’m glad you finished this task before I became active. Thanks.

Where do you swim in OSM?

The JOSM validator doesn’t like a polygon with only the tag sport=swimming. It returns the warning “sport without physical feature”

Documenting Process for Creating GPS Traces

Very nice write-up. Thanks for the information. I have an Iphone 4 and use the Galileo app which allows great off-line use of OSM vector files which you download state by state. I set the accuracy threshold to 32.8’ nd the distance threshold to 0.0’. I too have switched to an external data logger, the Garmin Glo (Built-in antenna · Bluetooth · 0.7″ x 3″ x 1.6″) which I wear in the crown pocket of my Tilly hat. I like the rechargeable battery.

How can I get accurate locations in a forest ?

Dieterdreist’s wear is a good idea. I’ve been trying to carry my iphone running the Galileo APP on my hat without much success. The Glo is much lighter and I could easily velcro it to my hat. The Glo update rate is 10 Hz and it’s not possible to set the recording rate to 1 second.
