Today is the first time I’ve done what I consider to be “major” updates to OSM. This was mostly adding “new” and/or previously unmarked roads in the eastern section of Lake Arrowhead, California. That whole portion of the map near Papoose Lake was a bit of a mess so I’m glad to contribute that along with two relatively new park areas…if they stay put.

I haven’t added to OSM much for a while. This is because I added an area in my home town of Crestline that was removed with no reason or explanation. That made me angry because I took great care to learn how to properly add an area and included a source for what I added.

At least all of the “points” I have added still seem to be there as well as a minor road correction I specifically remember. With what I mentioned above, I’m also putting more points (businesses and such). The western side of the San Bernardino Mountains communities are nowhere near as well filled in as the Big Bear area to the east so I sort of hate to not continue to contribute as I can in filling in points and a few roads here and there that aren’t exactly correct. I’m just hoping they stay there or I can at least find an explanation as to why somebody deletes something I put in.
