The two large villages of Over and Willingham are on the outer edge of South Cambridgeshire, biunded by the River Ouse to the north. Over was partly done, but turned out not very well. There were several incorrect street names and there was a lot less done than I had thought from looking at the map. So I completed Over, and then did the rather larger village of Willingham, which had only the two through roads already present. The hamlet of Overcote is around the corner from Over on a long dead end road out to the river, where NPE marks a now long-gone ferry to the Pike & Eel pub on the other bank.

This is the first time I've encounteed any hostility mapping. I had a nasty man in maroon overalls threaten to set his dogs on me for having the presumption to come down his road, Mere Way in Willingham. And Willingham is completely swamped with cars - there's an unbeliveable amount of traffic for such a small village.

Hope you don't mind a blatant plug :-

so i'm new here. Let's change the world by mapping it!

Ive tracked some streets in Murska Sobota: Slomškova,Kocljeva, Lendavska, Cvetkova ulica. Corected track on Cankarjeva ulica and Ulica Juša Kramarja.

Whilst tidying up North Belfast, I also added the streets below Belfast Castle, and the road up to the castle itself. I'm not sure how best to tag the castle though. I've gone for historic=castle for now, but that doesn't quite seem to fit, as it's an active functional venue, rather than a 'historic' castle (like, say, Carrickfergus). Suggestions welcome.

This afternoon I filled in a lot of streets off the Ballysillan Road. Then I followed the Upper Cavehill Road up over the mountain, and the Hydepark Road round to Mallusk. Only the beginning of the Mallusk Road was mapped, so I extended it the whole way out to Templepatrick.

should be sorted now :)

I've also in the last couple of days added rendering for highway=pedestrian,area=yes (so plazas work); railway=abandoned,bridge=yes.

i'm going for canal locks next (that is ways with lock=yes, rather than the waterway=lock_gate proposal which is rather hard to implement). i know that the little arrows point against the flow, but should the way generally point downstream or upstream?

I've tidied up the M3->M2 stretch a little more. This is a hugely complex area with lots of roads meeting and splitting; flyovers, underpasses, and bridges; and railway lines thrown in for good measure. It's far from perfect yet, but I cleaned up a few of the more obvious mistakes, like the bridge extending too far, and the start of the M2 at the end of the Westlink being completely missing.

This morning I finished off the work I've been doing over the last few days around the Whitewell area. The Whitewell Road, Floral Road, Serpentine Road, along with most of the streets off them should all be filled in down to Gray's Lane. My memory of the area isn't good enough to fill in all the street names: I'll leave that for someone else to do.

I added lots more of the coast road from Whitehead up through Larne to near Ballycastle yesterday, thanks to the GPS which go way beyond the Yahoo imagery.

The new Yahoo hi-res imagery for Belfast also let me tidy up quite a few incomplete ways that were previous under cloud cover in East Belfast, and were difficult to make out on the previous imagery around Stranmillis.

The University Area around the Lisburn Road is still covered however, and there are no GPS traces for most of it. Hopefully someone will upload some, as I won't be back in Belfast for a few months.

Suurin osa Hätilää on nyt piirrelty kohdilleen. Tuli myös huomattua että Merkaartor on suhteellisen pätevä ohjelma siirtäessä gps-trackeja kartalle teiksi.

Pitää kuitenkin muistaa, että "osumatarkkuus" yhteen suuntaan ajetulla tiellä ei ole ihan paras mahdollinen. Korjaan teitä sitten ehkä myöhemmin :)

Today im tracking the main road from Turnišče to Murska Sobota.
Plus ive tracked the higway from Murska Sobota to Lipovci.
Edited today with road and street names.

23 Nov some streets to the East of March, paths along the Nene, route to Wimblington and Doddington

30 Nov some streets in northeast March, and droves north to Guyhirn to Thorney Toll.

Actually Morwen, although they do render, under-construction roads won't get rendered correctly yet on t@h.

The reason is that there is a bug in the code - it's ticket #539 on Trac.

A fix would be to remove the "stroke=#f8f8f8" part from the "under-construction" style

I don't have SVN commit, so can't make the change myself.

One week today until the Newcastle mapping party takes to the streets!

Still time to get involved!

Thank you!

I've added a building and a footpath to the map on the edge of a dock in Hull, UK. Nothing strange about that you might think, until you realise that the path goes over the building. The public right-of-way goes over the roof of a warehouse, at about 8m high, near the Albert dock, via steps at both ends.

Today ive started to track my home village - Turnišče.

Sairio ja Hätilä on ihan tässä vieressä, joten rupesin niiden kanssa puuhaamaan seuraavaksi. Sairionmäki sinne jo syntyikin :)

Higgy - t@h will render your in-construction roads if you set highway=construction, then construction to whatever you'd set highway to (unclassified, primary, trunk, etc). They will come out as a dashed version of the normal rendering.

Yesterday I decided to brave the elements and unintentionally limited gearing on my bicycle and get some mapping done locally (I've been doing bits on various journeys and other places I've been - see Stalham, Norfolk and Mold/Wrexham and bits in between, Flintshire).

Persimmon Homes are building on the site of the former M&B owned, hence 'Deer's Leap,' Cape Hill Brewery. This has been the cause of quite some controversy as nearby is the Deer's Leap wood nature reserve, which the developers have not taken into consideration appropriately and have bulldozed sections of (for more information on this see http://www.ladywoodconservatives.com/votersview/DLW.htm).

Anyhow, a very small stretch of road on the site was accessible when I was passing the area so I took to opportunity to survey that. Obviously I'll need to go back in the new year to record a bit more. Another one up on the competitors!

If anyone knows how to tag roads as being under construction so they get rendered, do let me know.
