First Tracks

Posted by mithril on 10 January 2008 in English.

Took a short cross country trip for our annual run/swim in Lorne Victoria, so fo course took the GPS with us, despite doing the journey numerous times before.

I just love ignoring it's directions!

found where Navman hides it's logs & in which format they are so Ive converted them via GPS Babel and I've been having fun updating the maps. Colac, Ballarat and our Sunday journey to St Arnaud allowed for lots of tracks to be added to the Victorian countryside.

I'm noticing a lot of the streets i've added ion Warrnambool havent appeared on the maps as yet... i guess not many people view my little town!?

I've also noticed that i've made a few mistakes there.... multiple/duplicated ways etc.... so i'm in the processs of tidying that data. And generating new roads...taking random turns on my journeys... nothing too systematic right now.

Quite enjoying the mapping...so while i'm enthusiastic...ill be as productive as i can be..it's sure not to last!

Location: Warrnambool, City of Warrnambool, Victoria, 3280, Australia
