| Mapping forest trails | I think it depends on what the primary or biggest use is.
|
|
| Failure | When I used my PDA I ended up using BeelineGPS. I think that's by the same makers as NoniGPS but also free and better (just harder to find if you haven't heard of it). Also, if it's a bluetooth GPS your using to your PDA then you could use a java enabled phone instead. Lots of programs for phones and stupidly they're batteries tend to last longer. Like TrekBuddy. |

| Another addict | Beware, my OSM addiction came along and took away my Geocaching addiction before that went for. But I love OSM, have fun. :o) |
|
| Trip to Falmouth and surrounding area | Ah, I didn't realise how small the time was between our trips to Falmouth, just assumed your stuff was quite old.
|
|
| The mapping companies get it wrong again... | Well done.
|
|
| Lots of dragons to discover | But dragons are fun :o) |
|
| Data Overlay | Ooo very interesting, I wouldn't of known if it wasn't for your post.
|
|
| Springfield, Queensland is on the map | I think there are quite a few Springfields in the USA and I think it might of even been picked for The Simpsons as a very common/generic town.
|
|
| Getting Started | Lots of us read it :o)
|
|
| Hampton Court | Thanks I had forgotten to look over Hampton Court as I tried to map Hampton. I'm back home from uni in a week and a half so I might go over the gardens and palace a bit. |
|
| i want a GPS | I recently wrote about the NaviGPS (now renamed Genie GPS) on my blog http://www.livingwithdragons.com/2008/06/sadly-shopping-for-a-gps I'll be doing a better review, including other options, maybe next week or the week after. I'm pretty much an OSM adict so I will need to make my decision soon so I have a GPSr again. |
|
| Plant Nursery | There's a farm right by Heathrow Airport
It's more of a tourist attraction than a working farm (well local tourists). Lots of animals, pigs, horses, the like. Great childhood memories from the few times I've been there. |
|
| Hounslow and surrounding areas | I did a tiny bit of Hampton while I was home for Easter, saw where Hampton meets Hounslow had been mapped amazingly. |
|
| Rothwell , Northamptonshire , UK | I'm attempting to mix mapping and geocaching, but I don't think there is much uptake. |
|
| Mapper audio note system | Just talk in an undercover detective fashion, acting sly/secretive in your mind. Might be a bit of fun instead of feeling stupid. Just be ready to stop when police or such people are around! |
|
| Durham, Maidstone, Dartford & Swanley review | By the way, I'm mapping Durham quite a lot: http://www.livingwithdragons.com

| Connection timed out | If you don't finish a JOSM upload, do File -> Save As.

| University of Nottingham main campus | why not building=hall_of_residence and it will render? |
|
| Leeds Micro-mapping session last Sunday | Thanks for these lessons, hopefully helpful for my upcoming party:
Not that far from Leeds? |
|
| Who should you trust? | You could change it, but also add old_name=Carseview Drive. A month ago I was using OSM where someone else had mapped and a road name was wrong. Actually I knew it had been right when the road/houses were built, but I guess they decided to completly change the name when they finished building.
