Entered my first contribution to OSM: I mapped the bike trail that goes from the campgrounds, past the beach and beyond in Birds Hill Park, Manitoba. Hoping to map the rest of the roads in the campground one of these days.

... were mostly white spaces on the map, and probably rightly so. Nonetheless, I started mapping them, Schreckenberg done, Winterscheid still needs some more roads.

I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of London, Canada's map of the city trails. I went out for a walk to map some of the forest trails. There was a mixture of semi-gravel paths and paths that had been worn into the ground by people as a short cut from one "official path" to another. I'm thinking as I tread back and forth on "official paths" and the worn ones. that OSM will have the official city map beat. Well as you can surmise, when I got back home to check the "official trail map", the city does a pretty darn good job of their own. Those worn down trails where on the city web site. Looks like I've got my work cut out for me.

After an evening's debugging code and munching pizza in the lab (took a while to get here, I'm starting to wonder if I should hand out OSM maps of West Cambridge to the pizza delivery guys) I thought I'd go out for a ride whilst the pile of Dominos settled in my stomach.

I walk out of the department, notice that it's much colder than the recent weather had led me to expect and then spend a few minutes fiddling with my front light bracket, putting it on upside down, losing the nut, then getting confused about which way is clockwise... By this time I'm feeling the cold a little and am glad to set off and start making some heat. As I cruised off down the cycle path to Coton, I noticed things were a little dark - the recent new moon had escaped my attention and outside the twin beams of my headlight the pathway is pitch black. A section of the tarmac overhung with trees gives the eerie impression of a long dark tunnel.

Arriving at the start of the bridleway network near Coton, I pedal down to the first bend in the path, calling out to warn occasional rabbits out of my way. I reach my intended destination - the entrance to a local conservation walk - and lock up my bike, leaving the lights on low to help my find it in the dark. With the flashlight in one hand and my GPS unit in the other I push through the squeaking gate and into the field beyond. In proper English countryside fashion, the signpost had indicated the intuitive direction "up and to your right a bit". I cast about in the field looking for some kind of clue as to the path I am intended to join, walk into a spooky little wood, decide that wasn't the best plan and finally set off across the field in the direction I suspect was intended.

Walked around some of the streets between Silvertown Way and Newham Way to get their names, to ease the task for the Canning Town Mapping party. Also, some of the roads were slightly misaligned, so I corrected those where applicable.

Still lots to do, since there are so many small footpaths, hardly any of which I have mapped yet, since I'm just trying to get the main streets first, then the footpaths and amenities. The area is like a maze with the amount of footpaths linking the residential streets.

In wenigen Stunden ist es soweit... mein GPS-Empfänger wird geliefert. Eine gewisse Vorfreude auf das Abenteuer openstreetmap kann ich mir nicht verkneifen. Ich bin sehr gespannt wie die ersten Schritte so verlaufen werden...

Jede Menge Straßen und kleiner Wege südlich von Bautzen nachgetragen, und das Ende des Radweges "Spree" korrigiert - dieser Radweg verlief im Zickzack quer durch die Gegend. Hier gibt es noch viel zu tun, besonders die Spree sowie die nun nicht mehr genutzte Bahnstrecke nach Wilthen fehlen noch in weiten Teilen.

Ich hab heute mal ein paar Kreuzungen im Pinneberger Wald per Wegpunkt-Mittelung genauer vermessen und in der Karte angepasst.

Estes días estou a mapear Pontedeume, baseándome na imaxinería satélite de Yahoo!, e no meu (bo) coñecemento do pobo e arredores.

De tódolos xeitos, agradecería axuda dalgún outro eumés no tema das direccións de circulación e nos nomes dalgunha rúa que aínda se me resiste.

Estou realmente emocionado co proxecto OSM desde que o atopei. Paréceme unha moi boa idea!

Zur Übung und zum Anfang habe ich mal Sackgassen und Fußwege in nächster Nähe erfaßt.

I've been mostly repositioning roads in the eastern section of San Jose, to the satellite imagery - mostly keeping the topology from the TIGER data intact. I've classified a handful of roads upward from residential to secondary or tertiary, but there was so much repositioning work to do, I focused on that.

Obwohl es am Wochenende ziemlich oft geregnet hat, sind wir am ganzen Fluß Kocher entlang geradelt, von der Quelle bei Aalen bis zur Mündung bei Bad Friedrichshall. Damit ist auch fast komplette Kocher-Teil vom Kocher-Jagst-Radweg mit allen Tracks, Residentials, Unclassifieds und Cycleways gemappt, bis auf kurze Abschnitte in den Städten wie Aalen, Schwäbisch Hall und Künzelsau, wo wir bisschen zig-zag gefahren sind. Das waren über dreihundert Wegpunkte, die ich diesmal mit einem Diktafon unterwegs notiert habe.
Auf der Rückfahrt mit der Bahn S4 habe ich festgestellt, dass die meisten Haltestellen zwischen Heilbronn und Karlsruhe noch fehlen. Jetzt fehlt nur "Flehingen Bahnhof", da die Bahn dort nicht gehalten hat und ich bisschen eingeschlafen bin. Na ja, nach 180km... ;-)

I have now uploaded the tracks from Greenwood to Castlegar, hopefully the all will show up.

i thing highway=path is appropriate as its a multi-use path
then each section would receive a grade level.

Both the Eholt summit and the the summit going to Castlar are absolutely incredible. .. however, an expedition touring bike (a trekking bike) is recommended for sure. ... a part of the Rockies that gets missed when taking the Trans Canada Highway. or the Crossnest. .. there are a few access points.. ill see if i can find those. .. but im sure someone else will come along and post it.

Tested turn restriction on some junction near my areas

... I should be asleep by now, but I found so much that needs cleaning up in the area I know...
Especially single nodes in the middle of an area, both sporting the same meta data.

I completed the OSM fieldwork pledge. Forked out a tenner and also spent an hour staring at the luscious Grenadan jungle.

It took about half an hour to spot anything which hadn't already been traced. Found a few little tracks through jungle eventually, but all the obvious roads have been sketched in, so I'd say we have Grenada pretty much "Phase one complete".

This wasn't very satisfying, so I had a quick look at some other island, picked at random. "Norman Island" seems to be largely uninhabited. A loop of jungle tracks to add ...but what's this white thing on top of the hill? (see yahoo imagery in potlatch) Do we have a tag for a UFO landing site?
