Originally from Melbourne, Australia; I haved lived in Vientiane, Laos for a few years. I am now living back in Victoria.

My edits are generally based on survey, combined with my GPS tracks, any notes I make while out and available background/overlay sources.

Some edits are not based on survey, such as for MapRoulette tasks, in which case the sources used should be detailed in my changeset.

I have a lot of edits, but they are generally small. I am a casual, mid-level editor. Being a casual editor, I don’t know everything… If I’ve done something “wrong” just let me know.

I primarily use Vespucci, to make simple edits as well as to make GPS tracks and notes on the move. Once in a blue moon I’ll use iD on desktop for more advanced edits that can’t be undertaken on a phone easily.

Historically I sourced most of my edits though photos I took on my phone with GPS tags. This is no longer used, but the archive can be seen here.

My alias on the OpenStreetMap wiki is also Beager.

I also have a Wikipedia account, which I’ve had since 2008 and I use to add the odd bit of information.
