OSM survey on user demographics: A huge THANK YOU for participating!

Unfortunately mine appears to have been cancelled when i tried to use it 5 mins ago … :-(

doing imaginary cities

Please don't - this is a map of the real world.

iPhone vs Garmin HCx

What application were you using to get iPhone tracks? I'm using MotionX - this has an option to use accelerometer or not, which does indicate that you might get divergent results with iPhone. In general I believe I'd probably trust my Garmin more.

Just starting

Also try MotionX GPS. It uses OSM Mapnik tiles as a slippy map, and also supports tracklog saving for use in OSM. It's what I've always wanted on an iPhone, and I only found it accidentally.

Starting my OSM career

Hey, thanks for the MotionX recommendation! I've never noticed it before, and I've been looking for an iPhone app which uses the OSM slippy map for ages. And it is indeed a very nice application.
Good mapping.

Two men went to mow...

Hopefully this is an indication of how well Openstreetmap can be kept up to date in the future, when areas have been fully mapped. Will people be keeping an eye on their local area, monitoring new developments? It's certainly the case here in Cambridge at any rate!

Huntingdon, central and Godmanchester (Cambridgeshire)

Ah, but there's a large rich hinterland where the majority are Tory voters...
