Mapped The beginning of Flagstone Creek road and part of Silver Pinch Road (up to the unpaved section) on the outskirts of Toowoomba. I was having too much fun driving and looking at the incredible scenery to collect some of the road names - so I have Silver Pinch Road incorrectly intersecting directly with Flagstone Creek Road at the moment. It's a great trip if anyone wants to fix it... The roads follow mountain ridges so there are valley views both sides of the road.

After a forced "mapping holiday" I have finally had a chance to map data I've collected for scattered residential streets in Toowoomba. A serious fault at our electrical meter, and the sluggish pace of my 7 year old computer after an OS upgrade have conspired to make mapping very difficult for the past few weeks.

I've been trying some new GPS tracking software - OSMtracker. It looks promising feature-wise, but somehow the tracks seem less accurate than I was getting with GPSVP.

I discovered OSM because my bicycle speedometer got a flat battery.

Instead of buying a new battery, I thought I would try to download some kind of GPS speedometer/trip computer for my new GPS-enabled PDA. Instead I discovered GPS tracking software and OSM. Since then I have been mapping every street I can find between my home and place of work, plus anywhere else I happen to roam. Already my wife fears she will become an OSM widow.
