As A final year project student to do a project for OpenStreetMap,the first thing is to understand how people draw the road.

How is the Road really stored in the Spatial Database is the basic thing I need to know.

I'm excited to begin contributing to the maps. I've been fascinated with maps since I was a kid, so this is the perfect outlet.

Began in Casper, WY. The tiger imports are horribly out of date. Began by removing many of the railroad lines that no longer run through town. Also marked the golf course where the old Amoco refinery was.

I'll keep my GPS in the car with me as I'm running around town. When I look at the aerial photos versus the streets (mostly tiger imported), they look way off.

Lots to verify. Lots to come.....

I started from my last 2 visits to Tofino, BC with the GPS tracks.
Unfortunatly my GPS doesnt like t store waypoints (it's been through a lot, and has been tossed 'a many a times.) -hopefully real soon, i'll get a new GPS.

Anyway, Tofino, BC is where the Pacifac Rim National Park is. There is a cool bike trail from the far edge of the park (visitors center) that goes into town. and from the Main Visitors center (intersection of hwy 4... as far as you can go west, you can go south onto another paved bike trail right into Ucluelet, BC

The next time i go up there, i should have a new GPS and be able to put points down, and mark things as a result.
It's listed as a orange line, but should be red. .. as its a road with a solid/dashed center line, and a white line for the shoulder. ... just was hard to do, as there is a big gap between this, and Port Alberni, BC. ... If anyone is driving along up there.... hopefully more tracks will show up.

I think i'll make a wiki page for this. As it's a personal goal to fully complete the town of Tofino, BC (it's a small town)

Except for one street, which might have been planned for, but never actually built. Will need to check myself next time I visit, or ask my sis to.

Also threw in the nearby Power station. At some point I swear I'll bother to do the Champ d'Hydro power line area

Tweaked some stuff (mostly adding streets to the addresses I had in) near home, and added a small bunch of stuff near Édouard-Montpetit Metro station. not sure if tomorrow will be spent mapping close to home (adding alleys and small stuff) or checking for various missing street in that area I added a few, but compare with this map, especially the area between the park and Côte-Sainte-Catherine road...

I swear I gotta figure the way I want to do the bus routes at some point. I mean, the way I've been doing it so far just doesn't quite cut it IMHO.

Today I have done my first upload of a map, a street that connect Biella to Lorazzo Inferiore through Tollegno.

Well, I breezed up to Somersham in the nice weather we had here today. I decided that I really ought to go get some exercise since being cooped up with impeding everything else, including work.

I was rather expecting it to just be a small village with a few features to be mapped; I was then going to continue on to Pidley and maybe some of the other villages in the area. If things went really well, I naively thought I might take a look at Needingworth. Hah!

It looks like the town planners in Somersham had other ideas. The village *looked* pretty small one entering from the south; after going a little way down Chatteris Road and surveying all the stuff I found down there, I rather assumed that I had almost everything. Wrong! I found a small residential development to the south first, a fair few roads in there with loads of twiddly little side bits. After covering this, I stopped for a bite to eat, then headed back to the B1050 to continue through the centre of the village. I turned up Feoffees Road and entered a terrifying fractal landscape where every single residential road had offspring. My heart started to sink with every corner that brought another cul-de-sac into view but I pushed on and *finally* got back to where I'd started, having done all the offshoot residential roads in the area.

It took so long surveying all that thaht it was now dark. I don't think there is much more to the place but decided it would be best covered by daylight - as I had a longish trip back to Cambridge I decided to get pedalling and return at a later date to finish the job.

Anyhow, Somersham is very much better than it was before. Most surprisingly I found some B roads to the East and West of the village that weren't on the map yet at all; I should probably be able to do those at some point but it would seem to be a good target for someone with a car available!

So. Viele viele hundert Höhenmeter mit dem Rad hinter mir nimmt die Bergstadt Landau/Isar langsam Formen an. Ein wenig Stolz bin ich ja schon - auch wenn ich
einen unbekannten Mitstreiter habe. Habe noch nicht rausgefunden, wie ich andere OSM-Interessierte ausfindig machen kann...

I've mostly finished Aslockton and Whatton (Nottinghamshire, UK), and the changes have just appeared on the SlippyMap. Wooo!

I still need to join up a few footpaths, but then I'll move on to Orston, Scarrington, Elton...

Here's why mapping's so good:
* exercise
* fresh air
* reward myself with a sneaky pint of beer after mapping
* satisfy geeky tendancies

One curious thing: off Mill lane (northern part of Aslockton) there are some allotments and a cemetery. In JOSM, these are drawn with right-angles... but on the map they appear oblique. Odd...

Hallo,

Habe nun angefangen mein Heimatdorf hier zu kartografieren.
Der Logger weicht nicht mehr von meiner Seite ;)

Strada di accesso a Malga Campo, sistemazione strade monte Velo.

Well, last Friday I grabbed some time with the attention of walking / riding down the abandoned Cambridge-Mildenhall railway line, starting near the old Lode station and continuing through as far as the rights-of-way allow. I've seen other parts of the abandoned line as a farm track, near Stow cum Quy but parts of this were either marked private or were apparently unsignposted.

I managed to go about 20 metres down the track before coming to a fork; it turns out, looking at NPE that the side of the fork that I took was not actually the course of the railway. Ah well :-) Looks like there's a National Trust permissive bridleway along some of the old line, which I have yet to investigate.

Instead I ended up doing a load of footpaths / bridleways around Stow cum Quy fen, which was very pleasant - it's a lovely area with loads of paths, many of which still want mapping!

Today I'm intending on visiting some villages around St Ives that have yet to be surveyed, as far as I can see. If I don't have time to do this, I'll try and survey some public footpaths between here and there... Laters!

I've just finished uploading my changes from the first Brisbane Mapping Evening. I got to meet a few more Brisbane mappers, and got some mapping done too!

added some house numbers at Tattarisuo and included addr:street attribute to already marked house numbers. I assume highway=unclassified is same as highway=residental without the residents...

Aktuell erstelle ich viel für die Relation "Radverkehrsnetz NRW" osm.org/browse/relation/9148
