Entered Canning Vale name data.
It's looking like no one likes the idea of separating survey data collection from way editing (in the hope that less-technically minded people will offer to perform surveys), so my J2ME client / postgreSQL server / AJAX viewer system will not be made public.
As always, a non-searchable mirror of the survey data (Firefox, Opera, Safari only) will be available at http://vlchung.freeshell.org/mapMe_view.html

I usually find I need to make 2 passes when doing GPS way tracking and then a 2nd pass to copy down street names, although it's a lot easier if the vector data already exists, or do you mean something completely different?

Hi John,
That's a good point - the system I came up with relies on having the way data already entered into the system - Nearmaps being a Perth based company has spoiled me :)
In short the system I wrote is only for the "street names pass". The idea being that (as is almost always the case in Perth) the ways are already there, you only need to grab the name data. My thinking was that someone who enjoys walking could grab all the name data using a GPS-enabled mobile phone with a simple user interface, while someone with the skills / patience to use JOSM/Potlatch can go in and interpret the collected data into way-names.
