Editing is fun

Posted by Rimers on 15 July 2008 in English.

Finally i got around to trying the editing part for me first capturing.

Tried the online editor but felt i was missing some important features, so tried JOSM and wow what a difference.
At first i needed some training and getting used to the program, but after a short while i ended up liking the way it worked for me.
Also the fact that it's a cross platform program makes it even more appealing to me and my "I hate windows problem" witch to me is not a problem at all :).

I've during today put in all the changes I've mapped since my first post, it was fairly easy after playing around with JOSM a bit.

Next on my todo list:
More mapping and perhaps helping out others if they need help inserting some of the map data they have collected :)

My first attempt

Posted by Rimers on 9 July 2008 in English.

Finaly time came to test out if my tracking / mapping solution was worth anything.

I'm running a windows based pocket pc with a bluetooth pocket pc with OSMtracker, and it seems to work quite good.

Only problem i had was getting the GPS connection to work initialy, but after that was sorted i've had no problems at all.

Next task is to edit / render the files captured during today.
