OpenStreetMap
Thanks to DK for coming with me on the survey. We used my new J2ME helper application to enter the street names and other points of interest into a GPS enabled phone, which we then uploaded to my website, which I'll use later to fill in the street names for the areas we surveyed.
About 2/3 of the way through our on-foot survey, it rained :(

Sort of - http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=7361
It's a prototype, and if it turns out to be useful I'll do some more work on it and turn it into something that is available to everyone. In the mean time though, I'm happy to give it out to people who are willing to help me test the system on request.
I'm looking for people to test using the App as well as test using the website. I've implemented only the important things so that I can test whether the concept I came up with is good or not.

I also completely forgot that it currently only works for Firefox and Opera - IE doesn't work yet.
