First time I've done mapping using mainly just my iphone (and my motorbike). Just took a picture of each street name using the phone then went through them using Josm and the AgPifoJ plugin. Seems to work well enough, but I found that if I added them all at once in JOSM, I got really confused about exactly which was where. However, adding them one by one made a lot more sense (I also noticed that the photo icon stays grey until you click on it, when it turns red).

One odd thing, is that sometimes the photos often showed up at the last location I stopped. However, I think this may be more an iphone problem than a AgPifoJ one.

The webpage listing the unnamed streets is obviously invaluable doing something like this
http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~random/no-names/?zoom=16&lat=51.42933&lon=-0.10785&layers=0B000

GEbäude der Uni Konstanz gezeichnet, sowie etliche wichtige freistehende Gebäude in der Stadt Konstanz.

Traced the Oberustermer Forest north of the highway, including
the Römerbrünneli. Some open ends left and the connections to the outside world.

Yesterday's mapping trip was cut short by wife's call from the hospital. Today she gave birth to a baby girl.

Intro to OSM presentation, Monday 08 September 2008 at the K-W Linux User Group, in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

Join us.

I just tried to use GPSMapEdit to test routing in the danish part of the OSM map, and there is along way ahead of us.

So for the long winter evenings without enough traces to work on, I think I am going to verify the routing of the existing ways with GPSMapEdit.

What I do is like this:
Use wget http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/denmark.osm.bz2 to get the proper data.
Use java -Xmx512M -jar "mkgmap-r630\mkgmap.jar" to create a proper IMG file
Use GPSMapEdit from http://www.geopainting.com/en/ to build and verify routing
First thing to do in GPSMapEdit is to build the Routing list with
"Tools->Genrate Routing Graph -> Using Coinciding Nodes of Polylines"
And finally the "Test Routing Graph".

This reveals a lot of places where ways seems to be connected but there is a little gap. It also has revealed several places of roads with incorrect oneway direction and even missing oneway dairections.

Been doing some work on Taman Gembira, Klang. Still work in progress though.

However, I've completed "Simpang Lima" roundabout/flyover, and "Taman Chi Liung / Taman Gembira" traffic lights/flyover. Any comments appreciated.

In den letzten Tagen Wege rund um den Zweigkanal Salzgitter bei Wedlenstedt, Bortfeld und Lamme getraced und eingetragen.

Added the "Verlengde Bergse Pad", a track only for walking. With two bridges and one of them is also a cattle_grid. Two stiles, one at each end. You'll have to open a gravity closing gate there. (Gate posts are slanted so it closes on it's own)

I'm not to sure how I would appropiately tag this footway. I would say highway:footway and track:grade5 because that's what it is, really. Can the two exist together? For now I only gave it the highway:footway tag, untill I know better.

I created it with the aid of an OSM gpx trace.

A few hours before, I also added a lot of streams, small waterbodies and a lot of natural:wood patches. This is going to look so nice when it's all finished!

Also today I fiddled with the multipolygon (again). I found in the history that one half of it didn't have the multipolygon number and the other did. I seem to have done it right this time. We just have to wait and see how the mighty renderers swallow it.

Ich habe mal das Sparkassen-Parkhaus in der Pforzheimer Luisenstraße eingezeichnet, incl. der Unterführung aus Richtung Poststraße. Weiterhin verbesserungswürdig sind jedoch die weiteren Einfahrten, der durch das Parkhaus führende Fahr- und Fußweg sowie die Abbiege-Verbote. Wer will das fertigstellen? :-)

Heute(7.09.08) hat Familie Raber mit dem VW-Bus,Laptop und GPS-Empfänger Großvillars abgefahren. 15min Fahrt und 30min Digitalisierung durch Anna-Lena Raber und unser Flecken ist online. It´s Showtime!

Ostin sitten vihdoinkin Bluetooth GPS pulikan.
Kartoitan lähinnä Itä-Tamperetta. Hitaasti. Silloin kuin aikaa liikenee muilta hommilta.

Hi,

ich habe die letzten Nächte damit verbracht, die ersten 50% der Straßen von Kastellaun anhand meiner GPS Tracks in OSM zu erstellen. Der Rest folgt, sobald ich mal wieder in meiner Heimat unterwegs bin. Nach den Straßen kommen dann die interessanten Dinge ;)

Cheers,

Bernd

Hi,

nachdem Wardenburg letztes mal fast fertig geworden ist habe ich gestern Abend den verbleibenden Teil gemappt. Die Daten sind bereits in den OSM Daten und sollten spätestens in einer Woche auch in der normalen Karte sein. Das Wardenburger Stadtgebiet ist nun zu 90% in OSM :) Fehlen tun eigentlich nur noch einige Feldwege sowie einige Gräben. Zumindest der dicht besiedelte Bereich ist zu 100% eingetragen, incl. der Spielplätze & Radwege.

Auch dieses mal sind mir wieder einige Fehler in der Google Karte aufgefallen (falsche Namen, Straßen die es nicht gibt, fehlende Straßen, ...), sowie ein Neubaugebiet, dass noch nicht in der Google Karte ist (jetzt jedoch in OSM ;))

mfG,

Sebastian

Started to map the village of Ottré, Luxembourg, Belgium and surroundings after a small visit there. More to come... this was pretty much a blank area on OSM so far.

Falls wer eine gute Quelle für Straßennamen, ... hat bitte mir sagen, thx.

I've start to map the eastern montreal with yahoo picture but I'm now searching a cheap gps receiver so I could use geotagged picture to add all the feature around here and some pedestrian path that I cannot figure out on the yahoo map or that I did from memory (so not so precise).

so if anyone have a clue of were to find a little gps receiver (bluetooth would be preferable but usb is just fine) the I could use with my laptop (linux or windows but I prefere linux since some pluggin of JSON doesn't work well on win)

thanks for help if you can.

I added some roads that where not on the map already and corrected others in and around Ankeveen. Tracked them first with OSMTracker on a 10km bike ride. That was fun!

People in the street where wondering a little what this guy was up to, riding up till every endpoint in the roads.

I had also a good view of streams there. I will go there some more with a piece of paper and draw in those streams as far as I can seen them.

Hopefully I've made my first edit, two nodes as postboxes.

Hi!

First entry, after I got my garmin and mapped my homevillage (Wendhausen, Germany).
Today I went with a friend into the Baernschuetzklamm at Mixnitz.
I always wanted to do more hiketrips, weather is really fine (30 degree celsius and sunshine) and that hiketrip wasn´t mapped yet.
We got heavy in sweat (yeah, a job in a office is no sport or training), but finally we got through the flume via ladders and all other stuff.
Luckily the written path looks very fine, it even fills a gap of the train route near nothern Graz.
Now I rest, tomorrow another trip with steam train.
