Turned up at Cambridge railway station to take the first train to unmapped territory. That happened to be Royston, the north-east quadrant. Sadly this was surveyed in the summer, but the person who did it lost interest and never did the data entry. So I resurveyed it today and added the data. That means my earlier assertion that Royston was complete to street/poi level now really is true.

Also popped up the A1198 from the north edge of Royston to join up with previously surveyed Bassingbourn about 2km further north, just to check nothing missed in the gap between - and there was indeed a short residential street off that road which was outside the village, so I'd missed it before.

A traveling salesman plans to attend a conference of traveling salesmen and wants to drive from point A to point B and back using the shortest, quickest route possible. He first tries the obvious tool for the job, Google Maps, which times out unexpectedly. Yahoo! Maps, Live Maps, and MSN Maps all do likewise when given the same query. MapQuest returns a more helpful 500 Internal Server Error after a few minutes.

In a fit of desperation, he consults OpenStreetMap, which routes him through null and undefined. The traveling salesman is now enlightened about the NP-hard class of problems.

Edited 24 January 2017: Replaced OSM Gazetteer links with Nominatim links.

I had always wanted to try out OSM since I first heard of it, but never found the time to get started. Now I used the opportunity and took my Laptop, GPS-Receiver and assorted cables with me on vacation to the up to then basically unmapped island of Pantelleria. OSM had up to then the coastline, a place marker for the main village and the two radio beacons at the airport.

During my eleven days on the island I took a walk in the village in the morning and again in the afternoon, writing down street names, directions of one way streets and stuff like that in a small (paper) notebook and spent some time before lunch and in the evening to draw maps from the GPS logs, using JOSM for that.

After two days of trying I found it no longer hard to use JOSM, but fought a while with what seems like a server bug at that time that prevented the upload of delete operations.

One day I had someone give me a ride around the island, so I could see (and map) a bit more than just the main village; and I took a GPS Log on the way to the airport on my way back. I also took a few photos of the harbor area from the plane.

After returning home, I installed the WMS extension in JOSM and used Landsat images to add the airport runways and the shape of the small lake (by the way, is there a tag for a lake fed exclusively by hot springs?) and used my own photos to fix up a bit more of the coastline in the harbor area.

Har lagt opp noen flere detaljer på Saltholmen + forbedret kystlinje.
MYE gjenstår!

I've been engaging in a massive long debate with User:Chriscf about the wiki tag documenting process. Sometimes it feels like we're making progress. ...sometimes not.

Ich hatte mir fest vorgenommen, heute endlich das veränderte Kreuz Neersen aufzunehmen. Leider sind die Bauarbeiten noch gar nicht abgeschlossen. Eine kleine Änderung konnte ich schon einbauen, der Rest kommt später.

Some of you may be aware that I have recently moved home from Dublin to Nenagh in County Tipperary. I'm going to use my daily commute in to the Limerick office (until I get broadband at home at which stage I'll WFH most of the time) to map the various routes betwixt and between.

Today I did a quick map/data-gathering of Plassey Village opposite University Limerick - footpaths not included as I was in the car at the time.

Vorschlag

See subject.

Already yesterday evening:
Added parking lot in front of Edeka.
Added bus stop Paracelsusstraße.
Added bus stop Pfleidererstraße.
Added recycling in Paracelsusstraße.
Changed grade and pavement of some tracks near the bridge above the A392.

Hi,

I wrote a new program to check for inconsistencies in motorways and run reports for Germany and Austria. osm.wiki/MotorwayCheck

Then I corrected some errors in Germany and posted the rest in Openstreetbugs.

Cheers

Das macht Spaß. Ich habe jetzt fast alle Straßen in Oelshausen aufgenommen und sie sind jetzt öffentlich zu sehen. Ein wenig Stolz macht es auch. Es ist damit sozusagen "mein" Dorf. Später ist noch einiges daran zu arbeiten. Bei Gelegenheit mal ein paar POIs aufzunehmen. Aber die Straßen sind schon mal da.
Auch schön ist die Kommunikationsbereitschaft der User von OSM. Nebenbei kann man sich hier ganz nett per Mail austauschen.

The last few days I've been tracing some roads, rivers, and lakes in northern British Columbia and a little in northern Alberta. Today I completed work on the river path (but not the riverbanks) of the Peace River, all the way from Williston Lake to the Slave River. I also did some work in Hay River, NT, and Dease Lake, BC. It's been fun, but I may take a break for a few days.

Spent a good few hours walking between ockley station and ockley village and added footpaths and a load of local fetures.

Hallo Leute,

Lohmar-Heide sollte jetzt (zumindest was Straßen betrifft) vollständig erfasst sein.
Es gibt hier eine neue Straße (Rotbuchenweg), der weder in TIM-Online, noch in Google-Maps zu finden ist, es lohnt sich also, mit offenen Augen durch die Welt zu gehen und nicht den kommerziellen Anbietern zu vertrauen.
Ich habe auch noch einige Straßen in Braschoß und Schneffelrath erfasst.

I am the Chairman of West Cork Tourism a non profit group that promotes sustainable tourism to West Cork.

I really think that OpenStreetMap would be a great way to help tourists and small tourism business in West Cork.

Any ideas on how I should proceed?

Netterweise hat mir Uboot seinen GPS-Logger für ein paar Tage geliehen.
Zum Ausprobieren habe dann erst einmal die kurzen Nebenstraßen im oberen Grombühl gemappt.
Wer kennt schon die Enzelinstraße? ;-)

I was looking at the map near Arcata, CA, and I noticed that the satellite imagery had what appeared to be a bike bridge connecting was an otherwise dead end road to a other road on the other side of a river. Oddly enough, Google Street View had taken photographs all the way out to the end of the dead end, and the Street View photographs confirmed that this is in fact a bicycle bridge.

Oggi è partito il progetto BikeMi di bike sharing a Milano e dopo meno di 24 ore ho aggiunto alla mappa tutte le stazioni, recuperate dal sito ufficiale del progetto

AGGIORNAMENTO: all'inizio avevo sbagliato: per ogni stazione avevo inserito sia un nodo sia una via (di un solo nodo). Ora ho cancellato le vie e lasciato i soli nodi...
