I've just added the road that leads from my village to the town together with a couple of ways of getting there from my street.
I've also extended the A-6, the motorway that runs nearby in order to get it ready to be joined by another street I'm working on in the town.
This was my first time out with my GPS receiver and laptop. I'm pleased with the results. This is a necessity here because the aerial imaging is horrible for my part of the world.

Today I finished my tool which helps you to map highways. You simply create the lane which you have logged and let my tool shift it to create the lane of the other side. You find it on my website http://www.lenz-online.de/divers/mapping.htm

Just completed a Slippy Map written in VB.Net. It works exactly as the online Slippies do but works from pre-loaded tiles. The next stage is to incorporate it into BSGPS so that tiles can be downloaded before a mapping trip. Then transfer it to the PDA version.

When cleaning up a duplicated way of the Radel-Thon cycleway around Stuttgart, Germany, I managed to somehow delete a part of it - luckily the nodes still existed. (It involved a condition 412 and me manually editing the OSM file - don't ask.) I re-created it as good as I could, but there is a small part in Hedelfingen crossing the Neckar where it shares the nodes of a road - but I don't know which, since neither osmarender nor Mapnik show the route above the roads. Please redo if you know. Thanks.

Today I tried the BGT-11 GPS logger and got two traces, which I uploaded. Well, it worked and the map grew some previously unknown streets. :-)

Ich habe letzte Woche das Wegenetz des Türkenschanzpark in Wien mit einem Handheld GPS vermessen. Wenn ich es schaffe, werde ich die Daten bald online stellen.

Ich habe die B209 angelegt:

I discovered openstreetmaps last week. I started by adding the name for my home street. Yesterday I mapped some cycleways and shortcuts while walking the dogs. Looks like an addictive hobby indeed. :-)

On browsing the mapnik renderings, I found that parts of Chelmsford, Essex looked a bit crazy.

I've corrected the underlying data, which seems to have been caused by a user who remains nameless via potlatch.

Et si Communauto demandait à ses utilisateurs de partager leurs traces GPS ?

Trying to figure out how to use all of this :-)

The phrase comes from a poem - don't be offended.
Yesterday my gps took a 630km trip to Hay and other parts to start recording some highways. Today its off again to southern parts and probably a shorter trip, courtesy of the man who changes eftpos machines.
Expect some progress after a few days - it will take time to make tracks from all that data.
On Friday I have to go to Adelaide and will choose different ways for each direction so that more highways get mapped.

Potlatch now draws casing (a black outline) for any ways with a highway tag, and fills areas for any "circular" ways (same start and end) with certain tags. The colours need some adjusting: thus far it's only key-sensitive, not value-sensitive, and the casing has shown up that some of the highway colours need to be toned down. But it definitely looks better already.

Note that you still select a way, even a filled area, by clicking on the way. Potlatch purposefully doesn't select it if you click on the fill - because that'd make it pretty much impossible to draw, say, roads within an area with a landuse tag.

Interesting link on Joel Spolky's blog - a website that calculates a score based on how many amenities you can walk to from a certain location:

I guess it would be rather easy to extend our Name finder with that functionality.

I started to map this neighbourghood, it has the same problems as IC Frimu (lots of small streets), I hope to finish it in the next weekend.

I finished this quite large neighbourghood, because it has a lot of small streets.

Had to drive to Melbourne today to pick up a DVD recorder from the workshop so I decided to make a mapping trip out of it. Drove from Moe to Willow Grove then on to Noojee with a stop to hike into Toorongo Falls. Hiked into the Old Trestle Bridge at Noojee and then after a quick lunch drove on up through Poweltown to Yarra Junction and then back down in to Gembrook before heading in to Knox City. Quick trip to Springvale Junction and then back home down the Freeway. 17,578 points logged and 391km's later I'm home and just spent the last 2 hours tracing some of the new roads. Time for bed now.

Regards
Mike.

courtesy of Neil Newell http://hazeii.net/sdw/ I have uploaded two tracks for the whole of the South Downs Way. I've filled in map data those parts that I at least have a vague idea about. I will leave the rest for people who know the area better.

What is wrong with that one:

The next one in the south is ok.

Found out about this project during the weekend and have now uploaded the missing road to where I live... More to come, this project looks absolutely amazing. I love maps...
