Did you always wonder where this Black Forest is, where all the Germans live?

Great, thanks for the feedback. :-) Regarding the tags: I am not involved in this (except from helping to make a nice file page), so I don’t know if these tags are good to be used. Maybe get in contact with user maxbe!

Just seen an excellent real-time 3D map of Openstreetmap, the F4 map.

Did you know osm.wiki/File:Maxbe-stubaier-beschriftung_en.png which shows place = region , region:type = mountain_area ?

Hi Teva, hmm, well, no. The diary is not really meant as a personal todo list. Rather it is for thing you want to share with the community. Stuff you learned, how you learned, where you found good information, also to document your work, to share your thoughts on OSM topics, … See osm.org/diary linked on the left menu panel.

Maybe it could also be improved by some change in the Garmin software. However, the full street name should be at OSM. Everything else (fault tolerant search) is up to the software. A minor exception (likely not relevant here) are other/alternative/common short names for the street, see osm.wiki/Names#Key_Variations

Ciao wojmar, welcome to OSM!

Well, where is the street? What about you just change it by yourself if you know that this street is named otherwise (look on the street signs - not on other maps). Do you need any help?

If you cannot edit yourself, leave a note - it is on the symbol bar bottom on the osm.org map page, see osm.wiki/IT:Notes

awesome, but that does not really belong to here

Testing the diary function

Right! You hit the right spot! :-) Not only you can write your diary here, but also everybody can see it.

Welcome to OSM!

Automated road tracing - "Microsoft Road Detect" didn't work for me

Also see https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/25735/is-there-a-possibility-to-automatically-make-a-map-from-the-shape-of-lakes-and-ground-of-the-bing-map for a recent “discussion”

using osm on a phone

“Why is there no mobile version?” - I really think it is very simple: because nobody did one! There are only volunteers at OSM and it is much work to maintain everything - so be the one who does it! ;-) I guess Talk:WikiProject Cleanup would be the best place to discuss it (trac ticket system mentioned on top of Talk:Wiki for a direct technical solution/code/whatever). Wikpedia has a mobile version which is AFAIK powered by the MobileFronted extension (installed in Wikipedia but not in the OSM wiki).

Same goes for the front/main page - help to improve it! Make your suggestions there (if there is not already a section discussing that). :-)

on the official garmin page http://support.garmin.com/support/manuals/manuals.htm?partNo=010-00899-00&language=en&country=US you can get a list (“View publications in all languages”) of all available languages of the manual. However, Japanese is not listed. And on http://www.garmin.co.jp/products/intosports/edge800 there does not seem to be a link to a manual.

Dear OSM diary, and new friends stumbling in the doorway here

Hi Charlie, I am not aware that bing is using OSM data (except bing’s military area blurring). The other way round, we are allowed to trace from bing’s aerial imagery.

External Captcha

Agree. Also see:

The latter is the best place to discuss the wiki, I guess - well, as long as you do not post external URLs (triggering the captcha) and already have an account.
