Going into details

Posted by Anders Lund on 1 January 2009 in English.

Doing nothing on the first day of the year, I thought I would create some GPS traces for the nearby shopping mall's parking lot. It took me about 40 minutes to drive all the roads.

When I came home, I started adding the road information for the parking lot to OSM. I note about the parking lot, is that it have been renewed a year ago, so the Yahoo images where of limited use.

But how many details should one add? I mean - it's a parking lot! But then again, its a big one (for danish standards).

One thing I learned, was that I should have made some more small traces instead of the one big one i did. Some places, there are two levels of parking, just covering each other a little. Here it would have been nice, if I could turn the trace layers on and of in the editor.
