Mapping Kongsberg, Norway

Posted by ErikJ on 31 October 2008 in English.

I have spent the last two months biking around around Kongsberg and collecting GPS traces. Streets in the town center should be fairly complete. Most of the residential streets west of the river is done, but there are still some missing in the Skavanger and Saggrenda areas.

I have startet mapping residential streets east of the river, however there are a lot of work to do. Could use som help from other mappers in Kongsberg :)

My long term goal for the Kongsberg area is to map tracks/trails/paths around town and classify them for hiking and mountain biking (singletrack).

Good work! I was in Kongsberg a few weeks ago, and then things looked very different...

Just a couple of comments: Riksveg should have a RV prefix (RV40, not just 40, see osm.wiki/index.php/No:Map_Features) and when two road numbers are combined, they should be separated by semicolon, so E134;RV40.

And finally one small wish: Could you add the Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace industrial area? I think it is one of the places attracting most visitors, at least that was were I was going :-)

Again, very good work!

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll try to fix the roadnumbering.

I have just added an area for Kongsberg Næringspark where KDA is located. Not sure how to tag individual businesses within the business park?

I am not sure if there is a better way to do it, actually.
