Caricati tracciati GPX ed aggiunte vie nel ponente di Savona e in Valleggia.
Iniziata a riordinare e classificare la viabilità principale nel ponente cittadino.
Nonostante le gravi lacune nella viabilità, si inizia finalmente a riconoscere lo scheletro viario principale della città di Savona.

Yet another visit to relatives in Marlborough and on saturday and sunday mornings I was once again out walking the streets with my trusty Garmin etrex GPS purchased a year ago on ebay. It has done well over the last 12 months and will hopefully collect a lot more GPS points for OSM.

It was bitterly cold and wet but I managed to keep going for two hours each morning before I got fed up with getting colder and wetter. Also, as more people emerged for their morning papers I got more funny looks from those folk who must have wondered why the hell someone would want to walk up and down roads and footpaths with no apparent goal. Little do they know!

The result of all this meandering is that another bunch or roads and footpaths in Marlborough are now mapped. I guess one or two more outings should complete the whole town, but I expect I'll realise I've missed some bus stops or post boxes, or even the odd footpath. Oh well, let's see.

This morning I went on a mapping ride in the Silver Creek area of San Jose. I traced out the Upper Silver Creek Trail, noted the location of a few bike lanes and bike routes, noted the location of the Hellyer Velodrome, and added a bunch more details, street names, and so on, in the new development on the hill between Coyote Creek and Silver Creek.

Well after a night on the town I thought I'd had enough to drink, so I ambled towards the night bus service (in Dublin it's called Nitelink). Luckily I was not drunk enough to forget about mapping, so I turned on my GPS (a wonderful little NaviGPS BGT-31) and fell asleep on the bus. Luckily I woke up before my stop and was able to get home. Hence I've added most of Dublin's Nitelink 7N service to OSM.

Yesterday we were in Melton Mowbray, and we thought we'd drive back via the Wreake Valley, partly because it's lovely, partly because I used to live in Rearsby and haven't seen the place in years.

I was slightly surprised to find that the road along the west side of the valley has been designated, and fully signed, as NCN 48 (the promising-sounding Fosse2 project) - so our old house now has an NCN route past it. (The next place we lived is about half a mile from NCN 63; then the next is about a mile from the National Byway; and our boat is moored a few hundred yards from NCN 54, too. Just need to get that route through Charlbury...)

I was even more surprised to return home, check on the (usually very comprehensive) Sustrans website, and find that the route is still marked as "proposed" there. So in one small way, OSM's NCN mapping is now more up-to-date than the official one!

Added some POIs plus footway as an exercise for warming up ...

Tracked missing parts of our nice Stadtwald and on the way Otto-Hensel-Straße and
Prinz-Eugen-Straße.

Existing parts of the Stadtwald were heavily off on my GPS device, so I had to retrack even existing parts. This tracking was a highly illegal action, because I
went on my bike tracking all the footpaths ;-)

I noticed that the area Ulmenweg/Platanenweg/Akazienweg is far from complete -- will visit this area next.

For some reason josm doesn't support multiple audio notes, so here's a Python script that will annotate a GPX track with your jpg and wav surveying notes. Note you'll need to run josm with the patch to allow it to load GPX files with namespaces.

Including the code here in <pre> tags messed up the formatting so try: gps-fix-gpx-links

I added some more minor corrections and additions to Bonaire:

* Fixed up some of the streets along the waterfront north of Kralendijk.
* Fixed a couple of features that were misidentified as streets instead of piers
* Added a name for Town Pier
* Marked a few of the BNMP numbered dive sites that I dove on my last visit, using the sport=diving proposed tag.

Géocaching et OSMapping sur Azieu et Génas, Rhône. Trace GPS complétée par vue satellite libre.

A few more stretches added in Roscommon and Galway.

On top of that, i've started to look at railroad bridges, or bridges in general. Obviously, if you cross a bridge, the map should indicate that.

Also important is, that if you meet a railroad bridge, where you have to go under, that the maxheight is specified. Can be handy to know upfront, that you can travel a road or not.

Wir (Bömi und meine wenigkeit) haben Georgensgmünd um einige Einträge reicher gemacht und viel dazugelernt.
Das erste mal wurde der neue Holux-M241 ausprobiert..Nicht schlecht...
Beim Hochladen gab ein einige schwierigkeiten. JOSM geht aber auch obwohl mir persönlich der Online-Editor besser gefällt. War ein langer Abend!

Hoy he comenzado a pasearme con el GPS por el Poligono Fuente del Jarro.
He hecho las calles N-S de la primera fase.

Finally finished Knutsford today, a town of ~20,000 people - and Congleton last week, a town of ~23,000 people - both to public road level. It has taken a while to get both done, although I've been interrupted by mapping parties elsewhere, and holidays / other events.

I've not quite finished editing my last couple of visits yet, but within the next week or so, I should hopefully get this all done.

The map link provided is for Congleton. The map link for Knutsford is here;
osm.org/?lat=53.3025&lon=-2.3664&zoom=14&layers=0B00FTF

Of course both locations have plenty of footpaths and other public rights of way to map - and I'm sure there are plenty of POIs which I've missed.

Chris Morley seems to be making good progress with Crewe in the South of the county, so in terms of the new Cheshire East unitary authority, this leaves the large town of Macclesfield (pop 51,000) and its satellite village Bollington (pop 7,000) as the major remaining holes in the map.

I visited Bonaire island in the Caribbean this summer, and shortly after I returned I decided to transcribe what I rememebered into OpenStreetMap. By the time I visited, most of the island had been traced in, apparently from satellite imagery only, since important details like street names and one-way restrictions were missing. In a few instances where I recalled such details, I added them to the map.

This morning, I went back to check on Bonaire again. Not much seems to have changed, but while I was there, I added points and labels for a few important features, including Lac Bay, Lake Gotomeer, and Washinton-Slagbaai National Park. Perhaps I or someone else will trace in the precise boundaries of these features in the future.

Since Bonaire is world famous as a Scuba destination, I was hoping that someone would add in the locations and names of the official entry points of the National Marine Park by now.

Toujours du travail petit à petit sur Angouleme.
Je bosse sur la périphérie, le centre est en attente d'images satellites libres ;-)..

Weather forecast bright and sunny for yesterday, but betrayed: it was lowering clouds and lots of drizzle and rain, not the most pleasant day for mapping. I thought I'd get off the bus before St Ives and bike across NCN51 for a 4 miles or so to continue mapping Godmanchester (a big village just south of Huntingdon), rather than spend another 40 minutes on the bus winding through St Ives and Huntingdon. However as I set of through Hemingford Grey I realised what I thought was a completely mapped small village was in fact a much larger village of which only about 20% was on the map. So I got diverted and mapped that and Hemingford Abbots, including a grade separated junction onto the A14 almost-a-motorway road that had been missed out completely, much to my surprise.

That didn't leave a lot of time by the time I did reach Godmanchester, so I only managed to do the huge distribution depot/industrial park alongside the A14 and a boring large area of new housing on the south-western edge of the village, the kind of place where every street looks the same. Getting dark and wet by 4pm, so time to give up. Bus failed to turn up on the road out of St Ives so had to wait 40 mins in the cold and wet.

So, still another trip required to complete the central section of Godmanchester and then to start on the next large village of Brampton.

Ich hab angefangen In Freital-Wurgwitz die Häuser und Gebäude zu kartieren

Began mapping my hometown lovere, right now completely unmapped.. drawn a couple of places and half a dozen streets, but bad weather makes gps tracks "fuzzy", so I'll have to do them again to correct the fuzzyness.. but some tracks not perfect are better than nothing at all, I think.. :-)

hi,

habe zwei programme (neu) veröffentlicht:

osm.wiki/Osmdiff
osm.wiki/Unkartografiert

dann gibt es neue bug reports hier: osm.wiki/index.php/OSB_Reports

beim waycheck habe ich mich diese woche im wesentlichen auf RP und das Saarland beschränkt:

osm.wiki/DE:WayCheck

die unmapped places gibt es nun auch in der slippy map, aber noch nicht in der endgültigen fassung (permalink geht noch nicht). habe da noch einigen input liegen...
