HaraldK's diary
Auf der HardtThis is a strange corner of bush/park between the B7 and Benderstraße. It contains a water reservoir for Düsseldorf and surprisingly many footpaths. I had to stay longer there than expected to track them all.
Recently I learned about the photo-sync capability of JOSM (right click on the GPX-layer). With the clock set properly, it easily add thumbnails to the GPX track, which is quite nice to check out street names.
It makes sense to (a) always make the photo in the direction of travel, because if you (b) make the photo to include even two street signs, you know which applies to which street.
Of course photos are also nice to record the type of road surface or access restrictions or features like playgrounds or shelters or information plaques or you name it.
I note that when I ride a street up and then down that the two tracks really look as if they can make the difference between the two sides. But from the estimated resolution of between 5m and 10m this cannot possibly be. So maybe Garmin put a software fix in that always corrects the points slightly to the right in the direction of travel. Would be easy to check in the UK, though. Except they have the driving side of a country taken into account;-)
