More streets added to Nazareth

Posted by wardvt on 21 September 2009 in English.

When driving to my home I took the time to drive along some new road to map.
Just finished adding following streets in Nazareth:
Beenstraat
Dragonderwegel
Gaston De Grootelaan
Nieuwstraat
Ter Meerenstraat
Zwanestraat (north and south parts)
I've also added some POI, but these locations need finetuning.

With only a little effort, my hometown is looking al lot more spectacular than a few days ago. Not bad for a rookie...

I'm wondering how you people map suroundings of market places, buildings and sports centra.

Anyone with hints and ideas please contact me...

Started mapping details of Nazareth (Belgium)

Posted by wardvt on 21 September 2009 in English. Last updated on 22 September 2009.

This weekend I decided to start mapping streets in my hometown Nazareth (Belgium).

Using my old Mio C230 device I was able to generate GPS track logs. The biggest problem I had was to retreive the track logs from this device. It turned out that these tracklgos are stored in the iGO.db file. This is a sqlite database file. With the tool iGO POI explorer I was able to extract these tracks from the database into gpx files.

Following streets were added this weekend:
- Warandestraat
- part of Beenstraat
- part of Zwanestraat
- Steinstraat
- part of Groenstraat
- Kapellestraat
Notice that the location of the street Kapellestraat is more precise than you can find on Google Earth.

- Groendreef
- Merelstraat
- Eeckhoutsdreef
- Zandstraat
- De Lichterveldestraat

- Heerweg

I'm planning to add more streets in the following days.
