One year and some statistics

Posted by mabapla on 26 January 2009 in English.

It's a little bit more than a year now since I started mapping for OSM. Time for some statistics about the current state in my area. It's mainly meant as a reflexion for me where I can put my efforts in the future.
All distances are air distances from my home.

Nearest place with work to do: 2.4 km
It's about 200 m of track in the forest. Goes up the hill so I always postponed mapping it when I was close. Should probably set an OpenStreetBug.
Maybe there's a missing track even closer near Waldenbuch but I'm not sure.
(I'm leaving out POI in this contemplation.)

Nearest OpenStreetBug: 3.7 km
I always thought I'd get there some time on a bike tour, so I never drove there by car as it's not on the way to any of my destinations.

Nearest town with street names to put in: Altenriet, 7.5 km

Nearest town with serious mapping work to do (i.e. where there's almost nothing at the moment): Bempflingen (see map link), 10.5 km
This is an area with several white-spot-towns more.

Nearest unmapped power line (110 kV and above): MEZGN-WDLNG west of Bempflingen, 10.1 km
There's another one nearby (only 8.5 km away) but I'm not sure if it's 110 kV so it might not count. ;-)

The time is not far that all power lines (of 110 kV and more) in the Landkreis Esslingen will be mapped! A lot of them by me I can say without being unhumble. Some of them were easy as they were visible on the Yahoo aerial images.
I think it will take about 4 more weekends to get it done.
This is with one "trick" though: I only recently discovered the line Kirchheim - Unterlenningen which is fit for 110 kV but the connection to the station in Kirchheim cannot be 110 kV, it's probably only 20 kV. So I don't count it. ;-) About 6.5 km of this one still need to be done.

Another interesting number: I started in March to write down my trips and when I loaded them up. Since then, I made about 150 edits. So it must be more like 180 in my year of OSM. This sounds quite impressive (one every second day) but I made many of them on the same evening so it's probably more like two edits every week.

Location: Bempflingen, Gemeindeverwaltungsverband Neckartenzlingen, Landkreis Esslingen, Baden-Württemberg, 72658, Germany
