My first mapping project: A blind alley in my neighborhood: 4 nodes, 1 way.

Last weekend I was on the Sziget Festival which is held every year on Óbudai Sziget (Sziget=Island) in Budapest. I mapped some of the ways there.

Weather has been so bad these weeks I haven't wandered outside much.

Was planning to get tracks for some new areas and revisit some old areas so I could add names.

Habe eine Fahrt nach Fehmarn genutzt, um die Vogelfluglinie per GPS aufzunehmen und den Verlauf der Strecke zu korrigieren (war sehr grob, teilweise um mehr als 100 m falsch). Außerdem die noch fehlenden Bahnhöfe zwischen Lübeck und Puttgarden eingetragen. Die Strecke müsste jetzt soweit vollständig sein. Und nebenbei in den Orten an der Strecke, man kann es nicht oft genug sagen, noch diverse "Strassen" zu "Straßen" gemacht.

Just did some random things around Brisbane. A few roads, fixed a cemetery, not a big edit. I have been busy as I have returned to uni, so I do not have as much time to edit the map. Might get some more time soon to get things going again.

I went out on my daily ride today and mapped a stack of MTB/dirt bike trails. Most are either singletrack or heavily eroded wider tracks. There's a lot of damage done by the dirt bikes but it's council land so who's to stop them? It just makes it more technical :p.

There was one point where someone had built (what I'd class as) a massive jump. It goes over the Fernleigh track (the disused railway part) and is about 10m across with a 10m drop. You'd want to be going fast enough! A sort of chasm has been cut into the rock for the railway line so it's fairly sheer cliffs on both sides of the jump.

Shame I only just missed out on the Mapnik update, use osmarender if you want to view the trails.

There's a good chance I've missed a couple, but 90% of the tracks should be marked.

昨日、少し時間があったので丸ノ内を歩いてみた。GPS設定はプリセットの「2.標準精度」、ログモードはユーザー設定の「5.ミックスモード（時間＋距離）」で内容は次の通り。

• 時間 1秒/ポイント


• 距離 20m/ポイント


• 設定速度超過でログ停止（km/時） Highest=20, Lowest=1

結果は、ビル街ではかなりぶれている。自分自身で使う分には何かしら参考にはできるかも知れないが、アップロードして公開すると迷惑になるのは確実なので、そんなことはできないレベル。

今日、また少し時間が取れそうなので、今度はプリセットの「1.高精度」を試してみようと思う。ログモードも少しだけ弄った（Highest=20をHighest=10に変更）。

On my cycle back from the British Beer Festival (yes, a great time had by all - didn't quite find the Lonix meet but only heard about it an hr before and not the main reason, anyway, I digress), I made some notes about post/telephone boxes (including most of the postbox refs where possible. I've also happened around the same route since and finally got round to making the edits. I found a postbox without a ref - I kid you not! Corrected Rosenau Road->Crescent, different the other side of the junction; that had bugged me for a while. Added a pub and a church or two (Prince of Wales in particular, right on a not-amazingly-well-marked junction - very handy for locating yourself).

With phone-boxes, if they're all in a clump I've decided after checking existing tag use at http://etricceline.de/osm/Europe/En/tagname=value, that I would go with 'count=N' rather than anything else or put multiple nodes in at the same spot. I even have a few other telephone boxes (not on these trips but elsewhere SW London) that I've stopped to mark down the telephone number. Haven't come across any of those yet that I've seen, although it appears usage has been made of various phone number fields. I'm going with phone=+44-20-..... as per the general recommendation in the wiki.

South to Santa Claus

Almost to Cerbat Rd

Eibesthal, Katastralgemeinde von Mistelbach: Straßen und Fußwege aufgenommen. Die Straßen hinter der Kirche benötigen noch genauere Festlegung, die GPS-Tracks sind teilweise ungenau.

The Cayman Islands are still broken, one week later.

Here's the current Mapnik render (look ma, no visible coastlines):
osm.org/?lat=19.258&lon=-81.264&zoom=11&layers=B00FTF

and the Osmarender (look ma, incorrect way directions):
osm.org/?lat=19.308&lon=-81.2&zoom=11&layers=0B0FTF

Osmarender looked fine last week (I think), but Mapnik render was still the same.
(previous diary entry, osm.org/user/lwu/diary/2810)

shadowjack merged the lines last week, apparently.

Almost as far south as Mineral Rd. I'm taking the single way and moving it to the north bound lanes. After I reach Kingman, I'll create the southbound way.

Comparing US 93 to track logs and Yahoo images. Started at the Dam and working south.

How do you typical tag an accommodation for overnight stay. What we typical in German call a Pension or Dorfgasthof with overnight stay. Not as big and comfortable as an hotel. Please advice. I found nothing in the Wiki, but think it is as important as fuel stations for travelers.

so i've been happily adding in postcodes that I know.

however when searching it seems osm doesnt' seem to search the postcode field, you just get the free the postcode results

however my home street which i post coded as i made it, osm search picks up, the search function returns my street name, i'm finding this a bit frustrating, as a delivery driver i've added in some unusual postcodes (ones that don't seem to be on any map/gps/royal mail/etc) that i've confirmed with the people who live their and added, however these don't seem to come back in the search results (the last edits i've done are over a month ago and still not showing up!)

slightly frustrated, and wondering if i should contiune adding little bits here and there, i've left it for well over a month now, but went down some nice ackward lanes to find some farms today and decided it would be a good idea to add them in (if only for myself in the future when i forget ware they are!)

I have not added a diary entry since I started 9 months ago. Since then I have been mapping in Bristol. Frenchay, Emmersons Green, Puckelchurch, To the west of Bristol south of the M4. I worked in Swindon so I also mapped most of West Swindon.
Recently, I got my Openmoko Freerunner. I am using tangogps with OSM maps on it.
After initial GPS problems, I managed to get data for footpaths at Begbrook Park.

Hi,

Die letzte Woche ist dank mir und Markus Müller Sandkrug, Wardenburg und Kirchhatten um einige Straßen reicher geworden (siehe GPS Traces). Außerdem bin ich die Bümmersteder Fleth entlangelaufen und habe diese zu 70% eingetragen (der Rest wird folgen). Auf meiner TODO Liste stehen als nächstes:

* Bümmersteder Fleth (der kleine Rest der fehlt)
* Teich an der Straße "Am Fischteich"
* Teich an der Straße "Paul-Löbe-Straße"
* Der Wald zwischen Sandkrug und Bümmerstede

sowie die Hochspannungsleitung, welche ich zusammen mit den Updates Tungeln und Bümmersteder Fleth bereits weitergeführt habe.

mfG,

Sebastian

P.S.: Dies ist meine erste Woche, in der ich dank meines neue Freerunners Daten zum Open Street Map Projekt beitragen kann und ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Ergebnissen. Das Freerunner ist dank TangoGPS das perfekte Device zum mappen.

wandered arround just a little in the evening, mainly Karl-Liebknecht-Str. and Maxim-Gorki-Str. southern part

Viel Stress beruflich und privat, daher leider Zwangspause.
Neues Auto mit neuem Navi, kann zwar Wegpunkte aufzeichen und speichern, aber diese lassen sich nicht herausholen aus dem Gerät (Anfrage beim Händler gestartet).

Neues Handy ist bestellt, N95, dann kann das Tracken endlich losgehen.

Derweil halt Detailpflege im Umfeld. Wie taggt man Autohändler?
