First steps

Posted by Mike Whitaker on 3 January 2011 in English.

So...

I won a book at the London Perl Workshop 2010. Or rather, I won THE book - http://www.openstreetmap.info/

Neat. I've always liked maps. So I read it, thought 'oo, neat', downloaded a couple of iPhone apps and made a mental note to do something about it.

Son's birthday today. Picking up a friend from an address in Peterborough that doesn't show up on a map, because it's too new. It's not even on my GPS. Maybe it's about time....

Grabbed my first couple of trails using Trails on the iPhone - not perfect, so I'll be driving round the estate again later this week to get better ones, and then... bingo. Editing time, and then OSM will be more up to date than The Other Sites.

Location: Werrington Village, Peterborough, City of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, England, PE4 6PW, United Kingdom
