Our favorite map has just made it on the excellent firefox extension Minimap .... !!

Sistemazione strade e censimento dei passi nel giro in quota Anfo-Maniva-Croce Dominii-Bagolino.

Past couple of days I have been moving south through the Gold Coast and mapping out the roads and waterways. Still a lot to do.

In lezter Zeit kommt mir die OSM Karte besonders mit Mapnik sehr langsam vor.

Das ist gut denn es heißt dass es mehr Benutzer gibt. Doch sollte man gerade neue Benutzer nicht durch lange Wartezeiten vertreiben.

Was könnten wir tun um die Karte etwas zu beschleunigen?

Spenden? (Ich will nicht zu "PainPal")

Hola a todos! Desde Buenos Aires comienzo a colaborar para que Argentina tenga un mapa callejero como se debe. Espero poder aportar seguido y con datos de buena calidad.
Por el momento estuve trabajando donde nadie había trabajado, para no entrometerme (aunque cambié algunas pequeñas cositas de mi barrio, Mataderos, que conozco por experiencia diaria). El área a la que me dediqué comprende Banfield, Lomas de Zamora y Temperley oeste... pero como OSM es adictivo casi llego a Llavallol, Turdera y Lanús!

Nos vemos en el mapa ;)

I have got time to sift some tracks, which I have recorded this year and I have got time to do sports, to record new tracks.

So I could upload a lot of tracks to verify the sketched ways

Nachdem Winkel nun bezüglich der Wohnstraßen komplett ist, habe ich mich endlich an Oestrich herangewagt.

The last few days, I have been adding a lot of data for the peninsula of Onsala, south of Gothenburg, Sweden. Two more weeks and virtually all of the road network will be there.

To celebrate mapping Cramlington by bicycle, I decided to treat myself to a new steed. After Wiggle delivered a large box containing a new Focus Red Falls, I have been itching to get out and about on the newly mapped Cramlington Cycleway Network.

Tonight, I decided to ignore the 7C air temperature and winter night to do something different. Starting at Cramlington, I followed National Cycle Route 1 down past Horton Grange, and through new housing developments to Blyth Adsa. What is normally a horrible place to visit by car (bad traffic!), is well appointed with excellent cycleways.

Coming back though Bebside, I decided against the easy route and turned off past an old civic amenity site to follow an old road pre-dating the modern A189 trunk route.

Pedalling along on tarmac being slowly reclaimed by nature, my head torch was the only shaft of light piercing the winter night. Slowing only where a flash of hedge showed a sharp bend, the cold night was quickly forgotten as the exhilaration of exploring the unknown took hold.

The orange sodium skyglow of Cramlington confirmed the Garmin GPS was pointing true, as eerie pinpricks of light appeared. Ah- horses have white eyes!

The glow from The Three Horse Shoes pub looked inviting, but I left the empty picnic tables and headed for home.

Hathery Lane is now mapped. Unused by vehicles for many years, but a great short cut for cycles.

Wollte am Sonntag den Kulturweg um die Altenburg mappen, hatte die Strecke bereits abgefahren, als ich merkte, dass der Akku meines Trackers leer war. Dann eben beim nächsten Mal.

Noch etwas: Die 4 Bäche, welche in Sulzbach zusammen laufen, möchte ich mal mappen, habe allerdings keine Ahnung, wie ich einen Bachlauf mappen soll, ohne das Bachbett abzulaufen. Jemand eine Idee?

Salve!

Iniciando com algumas contribuições, estou incluindo e atualizando ruas da minha região aqui no bairro São José, em Belo Horizonte (MG, Brasil).

approfittando della tradizionale fiera del tartufo di acqualagna, ho mappato con il mio iBlue 747. A breve le strade tracciate.

Thank you to all who replied last week. I still have more questions (below)...

First, some of my reflections on the Manchester mapping party that ran over the weekend.I have now been out with a (borrowed)GPS and made a minor contribution to the map. I took a lot of photos as I wandered round what I now realise wasn't a particularly large part of a network of paths within a park, not really sure as I started out what was worth capturing and what might/not make a valid contribution to the map. So I tried to note everything: signposts, cafe's, (permanent)ice cream stand, phonebox, CCTV cameras, animal enclosures/pens within a farm area, open spaces, children's playground, a tunnel, small bridges crossing back and forth over a stream, historic buildings/ Blue Plaques (English Heritage)etc. And then my camera battery ran out, so I had to stop taking photos and start writing notes and taking waypoints. When I returned to the mapping party base, and watched the event organiser re-draw over the tracks, it was fairly satisfying to watch a blank space get filled in, albeit only a small amount.

The main difference in my mapping technique/ practice from that of many (perhaps the majority of?) people, as far as I can tell from the responses I have had via this diary, is that I did not go out mapping alone. I went out in a group of three. Two friends of mine from the University (one male, one female) and I (female) walked around the park together, each with a GPS, walking (for the most part) together and reflecting on the mapping activity and our surroundings as we went along.
So, as a result, we generated three, near identical tracks, with two of us taking the same or similar waypoints. What exactly was the point of this doubling, or tripling up of GPS tracks? Surely a waste of valuable mapping time that could have been spent covering a larger area of the park? Would that not have been a more productive use of our afternoon?

Just added a number of footpaths that I had the pleasure to walk over the weekend in the Wye Valley area between Tintern and Chepstow. There's a reasonable amount of mapping data in this area already, but a lot of it seems to be from the NPE maps and either out of date or inaccurate. For example the boundaries of wooded areas don't match with what we found on the ground in all places. There's a lot more mapping that can be done in this area, including more paths, accurate outlines of woodland, disused railways, quarries and so forth. It's a beautiful area for walking in and quite easy to get lost in the woodlands - especially where there is a high density of paths going in different directions. Definitely warrants a return journey.

Today I went for a nice good cycle around with my GPS unit, surveyed in many streets, a few nice parks, and lots of hidden footpath / mountain bike tracks (I walked with my road bike along these nasty but fun tracks).

Late last week I surveyed in some of the southern part of Eltham, weird streets and paths all over the place.
As well as a few paths and streets around Montmorency.

It's good to discover new and interesting places, some hidden paths. :D

Sitze grad in der Fh Swf in Iserlohn und möchte wissen wie man Freunde bei OSM adden kann.

Finally all data collected from a longer trip is in OSM. This includes some streets in Jayapura, Sentani, Biak and Wamena. On Pulau Biak some cross-island roads can be found.

Kupang is much more complete by now, although the finding of street names is still troublesome.

Westlich von Leipzig gibt es durchaus noch einige Lücken, habe heute meinen ersten Track hochgeladen.

Despite the rain I spent about an hour doing pickups in Hamstreet Wood. I had mapped most of the paths in the wood but had some spurs still unaccounted for.

One more visit should hopefully have it finished.

Hallo,
ich habe versucht, möglichst Bruckmühl zu vervollständigen.
Was noch offen ist, habe ich mir auf einem Ausdruck angestrichen.

Tempo-30-Zonen
Ampeln (wir haben in Bruckmühl nur 2 Fussgängerampeln)

Noch nicht näher überprüft:
Hinrichsegen
Heufeld
Waldheim
alles östlich der Gottlob-Weiler-Strasse, und südlich der Mangfall ist quasi noch offen, also z.B. Götting.
