Diese Woche hab ich die Kategorie der stillgelegten Bibertbahn von Stein nach Zirndorf in "abandoned" geändert, was richtiger ist als das vorherige "preserved". Sieht leider so aus, dass Mapnik solche stillgelegten Strecken nicht mehr rendered. Schade, denn die Info wäre schon schön in der Karte zu haben. Ausserdem sieht es jetzt für den ursprünglichen Anleger so aus, als ob die Strecke gelöscht worden wäre.

Aber das Kredo in OSM ist: Richtigkeit geht vor Schönheit

Ciao, Thomas

Mostly done.

I didn't know where in Kingman to place the end of the divided way so I guessed.

Skipped the Dam parking.

The junction between Kingman and Golden Valley needs work.

I'm also wondering if I should have deleted nodes from the TIGER data. We have some very straight ways in the desert south west US.

My first time to meet anyone else into osm, and I didn't do a huge amount of mapping - ended up doing about as much on the way down from the city through Brixton as I did while there, and started some on the way home ~11pm but my phone battery died (luckily I had an idea where I was before, or I'd have been cycling round lost for too many hrs - wing and a prayer got me home eventually). Apologies to smsm1 for keeping him so late at the end (I did warn you I also tended to be among the last to leave anywhere!).

Err... my notes failed me for one bit though, and JOSM isn't behaving with the layers like it was the last couple of times (its a mystery, really it is.. black magic!). Which road is Peckford Place off the A204? There are some unmarked ones but I couldn't figure it out from what I wrote. Was going to mark Max Roach Park down too, off to the East about half-way down I think.

Discovered TrackMyLocation Java app for phones though thanks to err.. Stephen is it?! Seriously configurable (more so than WhereAmiI+ I think even, but more of a layered options menu to do it - good but also complex to find things in as a newbie to it). Yet to try getting maps onto it, so was testing out a black background and just the shiny blue trace.

That's all... bedtime... Seriously... now...

The beer festival start tonight. Too late I thought it might have been a better idea to map the streets between the station and the festival in time for it to get on the OSMARENDER layer (rather than say the B road to Harwich).
I'm hoping to get a lift to the festival this evening (I'm helping behind the bar), and expect to be walking home. I'll take the Genie each way and capture some of the town centre (and if on foot I might take the opportunity of catching the bus lane I can't get by car...)
