Vleuterweide
Zag afgelopen week dat er al een bouwweg ten zuiden van Station Vleuten geasfalteerd is en dat er al funderingen gebouwd zijn. Ik ben er net even langsgereden met GPS van mijn telefoon aan om dit stukje in kaart te brengen. Daarna heb ik ook eindelijk de busbaan bij het station ook maar ingetekend en de aanleg van het viaduct in de Huis te Vleutenbaan ten behoeve van Het Lint.

Nieuwe verbinding onder het spoor bij Vleuterweide
Nadat het nieuwe viaduct bij Vleuterweide is opengesteld in twee richtingen (http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/peSHIr/diary/8190) hoopte ik al dat snel de nieuwe verbinding onder het spoor zou volgen. Immers: het is anders erg onhandig om tussen Vleuterweide en het centrum van Vleuten te reizen.
Gelukkig blijkt hieraan gedacht: de verbinding tussen Harmelen/Haarzuilens en Vleuten aan de ene kant van het spoor en Vleuterweide en de A12 aan de andere kant is nu ook af en open voor verkeer.
Ik heb even snel alvast mijn eerdere schatting van het trace van zijn "highway=construction" status af gehaald en hem op gevoel handmatig ingetekent. De GPS survey ervan volgt zo snel mogelijk.

Two interesting OSM topics
One important one: the www.openstreetmap.org page really needs to show more and "better" (=more aluring/useful) maps. See http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Buadhai/diary/8208
And an interesting one: representing race tracks in OSM. The two major examples in the Netherlands are examples of the "shambles" that exists in this area. Well, at least they are on the map already. See http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/kevjs1982/diary/8217

Viaduct Vleuterweide
Sinds maandag is het viaduct over de Wilhelminalaan bij Vleuterweide voor beide richtingen opengesteld. Hiermee is er geen rechtstreekse verbinding meer tussen de Stroomrugbaan en de Wilhelminalaan. De huidige (naar verwachting nog tijdelijke) loop van de Huis te Vleutenbaan is ook doorgevoerd in OSM.

More house numbers
Almost doubled the amount of address information in the Vleuterweide area near Utrecht this afternoon. Yeah!

Address information
After SOTM09 I started mapping in my local neighborhood again: this time checking for some (much needed) updates, adding some POIs and must importantly the address information.
Tried to use the Walking Papers website for process, which works briljantly while walking the neighborhood taking notes. However, as I do not have a scanner, I tried to upload a digital photo of my notes and WP did not like that: if the four corners are too trapezoidal, recognition of the QR code fails. Will try to take a better photo later. Maybe this is the perfect reason to finally chuck the old HP Deskjet in the bin and get myself a proper multifunctional...? ;-)

Natuurgebied Westbroek
Het zogenaamde Bert Bos pad door een veennatuurgebied bij Westbroek (Utrecht) hebben we kortgeleden grotendeels gelopen; alleen het deel naar Egelshoek hebben we nog niet meegepakt. Uiteraard was de GPS telefoon mee, dus dit schitterende wandelpad staat nu ook in OSM.

Vijverbos near Harmelen
Added the footpath around this little body of water, including the bridges and access road to the private house that lies in the middle of this beautiful area.

Mmm, for footpaths in urban area's Trackr! is not enough
I tried to map some of the footpaths in Vleuterweide today using Trackr! (www.trackr.nl, www.trackr.eu) on my mobile phone. While this is generally fine when mapping roads by car, it seems this is not accurate enough (and with enough track points) for small scale footpaths in urban area's. I will need to walk the same track agiain, but now with my Garmin GPSMAP 60C. Oh well...

Open heathland in the forest near Hilversum
Went for a very nice walk on the open heathland in the forest near Hilversum (just next to the local airfield, which someone should still add to OSM I see) and it looks as if the pethora of walking trails that exist there are still nowhere to be seen in OSM. I added the route we walked and next times we will walk there I will try to get as many of the uncharted paths as I can.

Leidsche Rijn Park and Papendorp
My survey of some new roads in the Papendorp area has now been processed (thanks to http://www.openstreetmap.com/user/Tallguy for his tip about reusing the show overlay button in Potlatch!). Also, we went for a walk in the new park area in Leidsche Rijn Park and of course I surveyed the footpaths we walked. The area is not yet complete, but at least some of the paths that are already there are in OSM already.

GPS upload failure...
I drove around Papendorp (near Utrecht) yesterday, and after the upload troubles I find that OSM tells me that the upload ws successful, but it is only showing up partially in the the Potlatch online editor. Guess I'll try and upload the track again, maybe in smaller subpieces, to see if that works. Bummer...

Maarssenseweg over A2
Na de werkzaamheden tijdens de afsluiting afgelopen week loopt de Maarssenseweg (viaduct bij Maarssen over de A2 heen, in de buurt van afrit 6) nu over het nieuwe viaduct. Het nieuwe tracé naar dit viaduct toe vanaf Vleuten/Haarzuilen heb ik vanochtend gereden op weg naar mijn werk en staat nu in OSM.
