OpenStreetMap
Very excited about making my very first entries in OSM.
I have added a few new POI's on Hampden Rd, Artarmon. Some not so obvious but I did add a POI for Artarmon Station, not sure if that is the right thing to have done. I've noticed that on nearby train stations there are no icons indicating the location of the train station, is this right?
Anyway, I am happy to remove any additions I have made since I am just getting the hang of this.

Artarmon Station is already marked. If you look at the map now, you will see that there is an "Artarmon" and an "Artarmon Station". The convention we seem to be using in this area is to not bother with the "Station" part of the name. I'll leave it for you to fix up, I don't want to ruin the fun :)
The existing node is one of the nodes on the rail line, this is better for things like routing (so a computer program will know how a train actually gets to the station).
It is often handy to go to the main slippy map, zoom in and then turn on the data layer to see what is going on. It updates instantly too.
Artarmon is looking very nice though :)

Yay! Another OSMer near North Sydney (near my work)
More deatails around Artarmon and North Sydney would be just great :)
Have fun Polito, and if you've got any enquiries send me a message - we could perhaps even meet up one day.
