PS. Should have noted that the timestamps will be a little off, problably when recording finished and care has to be taken when copying files around.

If you use a application like Manauton (also listed) you can embed a click-track into the audio (which would not suffer these problems) and do neat stuff like negative latency.

I was working on getting a scheme together, but haven't fixed my car's bearings yet so it's far too noisy to use audio mapping at present.

There's already a fair bit listed at:
osm.wiki/Audio_mapping

I'd suggest looking at 'Gps Event Sync' which converts a listing to GPX waypoints. With a bit of script foo you can magically make the listing from file time stamps.

If I remember correctly JOSM can play audio file linked to in those waypoints.

Have a great trip and stay safe,

Pretty much the situation in rural Canada, only the distances are larger. You just have to keep mapping....

Great news that the GeoBase data (for Canada) will be usable and imported in good time.

Hi,
Here is a list of the features that mkgmap supports
http://svn.parabola.me.uk/mkgmap/trunk/resources/garmin_feature_list.csv

I also started making a list of what was supported on my mono eTrex Vista
osm.wiki/index.php/Talk:Mkgmap/help/custom

I believe the adding of names/phone numbers/etc is dependent on the map-creation software you are using. Mkgmap seems to just pick up the osm.wiki/Tag:'name=' tag, even to the extent that unnamed points appear as blank in the POI listings.

Cheers,

On thing not mentioned in routing.... If an area is of a suitable type then it could be used for routing, such as walking across a park or via a parking area.

This 'use the same nodes' approach would have to take care to ensure that the whole shared boundary is indeed routable, and does not contain a boundary such as a fence. Maybe careful placement of shared nodes would be able to indicate entry points to a park.

That said I am in favour of this approach as it produces neater looking maps.

These two links may help:

Happy mapping,
Mungewell.

It basically boils down to lat/long position (elevation is stripped as nominaly not accurate enough with consumer units). 1 second data is useful, as it helps routers calculate travel time etc....

What equipment are you using?

There are already several application which will combine a GPS trace with digital photos, using the time stamps in the photo to interpolate a location. The location is then stored as an Exif tag, so that it can be used by JoSM, Flickr, or whoever.

Personally I use my cellphone camera as the time on the phone is tied to real/gps time via the network, so I don't need to work out the difference.

There are also projects to pick up time stamps on audio streams in a similar manner, see:
osm.wiki/index.php/Audio_mapping

You have two ways ontop of each other, one which looks like a GPS track multiple walks up and down should be removed (select way and 'shift + delete') the other looks good.

I 'fixed' a few things in the relation to give you an idea of where to go with that...

PS. Is that a pier? Everyone loves a pier, add a way and tag 'man_made=pier'.

Oh, the old stomping ground..... Don't forget the Hamlet of Mongewell ;-)

Cheers.

Hi,
I also noticed something different with Mapnik. It has picked up the new street names that I put in, but not added a new street (way) that I added.....

You can prompt a re-render from http://informationfreeway.org/ select the area at zoom 8 or zoom 12 and press 'r'.

Cheers,
