How did I get involved with OSM? Initially I was looking for open data to use with flight simulators. I found that my local area was mostly blank so I started adding bits. You can guess the rest.

Since then it’s been very handing for keeping my aging Garmins up to date as well :).

I am proud of the fact that my local area shows a high level of detail and completeness, compared to neighboring areas. See [OSM activity] (http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?Joe%20E) for example. PS: Older, dead link ITOworld, what a shame.
