Well done to the Germans

Posted by Welshie on 24 August 2009 in English.

After a week-long holiday in the Frankfurt-am-Main area, I find that I only managed to add a single point of interest to the map, one pedestrian subway, and add one tag to another point of interest, because pretty much everything else had been done in the area.

(Admittedly, I didn't go house number mapping, or out of my way to do any mapping)

I also worked out that GPS receivers don't work on the ICE3 trains (or Eurostar), and you can only get intermittent coverage on the S-Bahn trains in the area.

My GPS works fine on the Eurostar and Thalys trans. The German intercity trains were a bit more intermittent in their reception.
