Hallo, newly addicted mapper here.
Posted by Verm on 23 September 2009 in English. Last updated on 25 September 2009.Got most of my home town filled in over the last week or so.
When I took a look at it when I first logged in, there were only 4 streets.
(EDIT: there were 8 other streets done in the northern corner by someone else aswell.. sorry for not acknowledging that.)
That would not do!
Luckily, I have an aerial photo hanging on the wall and someone kindly uploaded some gps traces, so with those as my main tools I filled in most of it.
Then I started wandering around town taking notes and pictures to adjust and/or correct and fill in what has changed since the photo was taken.
I am now trying to fill in the details, but I seem to be mucking up tags and keys.
(for example, bridges will just not show up... and the airport is just a blank area.. so back to faq's and forum)
