The cable to connect my GPS to the laptop arrived this week, so I thought I'd have a go at doing my first bit of proper mapping (rather than just adding pubs and postboxes, and fixing the spelling of street names).

I've made a first pass at the streets of the village of Bramshall in Staffs - I've also added in the two pubs, and the village's postbox. There is quite a bit left to do - lots of footpaths and little private roads, and a church to add spring to mind (and a few other roads in the countryside around).

I could probably also do with another go round with the GPS, making waypoints in strategic positions instead of relying on the track, which doesn't mark quite often enough. I'm quite pleased with it for a first go though :-)

Notes for me:

1) Check where Church Lane turns into Leigh Lane.
2) Check where Leigh Lane goes (left or right north of the village).
3) Add in Bennetts Lane
4) Get name for the A-road.
5) Get church location
6) Map the footpaths.
