OSM and garminAfter discovering that SteveZ kindly converts the weekly planet.osm into garmin images <http://users.tpg.com.au/users/stevez/OSM/index.html> which can be uploaded to a garmin gps I couldn't wait to see my latest updates to OSM on my own little GPS.
One of the nice things about this is that you can easily see if a street has been mapped before or not, which makes it easy to add new streets to your route and add them to OSM when you get home.
Anyway after riding home from work and deciding to do a few more k's I noticed that that the end of Arden St hadn't been mapped accroding to my GPS. So I rode various loops around all the streets there to record them on my GPS.
Only to get home to find that they all existed. Seems like BlueMM had mapped them all in the last week.
Oh well at least it was fun riding around a new bit of Melbourne.
