Mapping Tynnered, Gbg

Posted by drakfluga on 12 April 2009 in English.

The effort goes on. I was out for a three hour walk around the neighbourhood in the morning, mapped out a few streets, cycleways and a few paths in the nearby woods. When I got home I noticed I got a message from a fellow mapper in the area, so I wrote him a reply. I've also been reading up on rules and keys, but I'm still unsure about a lot of the roads and paths nearby, and I'll probably need to re-tag a few of them in the future as I'm sure I haven't been tagging everything properly.

I've still to attempt to get Tiles@Home running on my server, but there hasn't been time to look into it yet. Hopefully I'll find the time some day this week.

I'm quite tired, I was out walking for a total of over five hours today - good exercise! And a lot of fun! It's great to see some of the features on the map are coming together now. My street and the adjacent streets are shaping up better and better. I should start adding buildings and street numbers soon too, to make it complete.

Today was my first day of Geocaching, I brought my girlfriend along and together we found four caches. She enjoyed it a lot, too. It'll certainly be great fun to do this summer when we'll be driving to northern Sweden and Lofoten in Norway for our summer vacation.

Tomorrow I plan to take the bike around a few nearby areas which I haven't mapped yet. I'm also planning a ride up to Slottsbergs Mosse in Ruddalen, a relatively small pond, to map it out along with the trails there.
