Used Potlatch to add line work for Campbell, part of ADFA and part of Duntroon.

It's been odd - as I uploaded the track logs from this weeks wanderings, I found that more than half the streets I hadn't travelled before had already been done by Norky and Blackarrow. Great work guys. I intend to continue to thicken the residential roads in Tarring whenever I go there, but I'm going to move back to focusing on Chichester (where I live) 'cos you guys are obviously doing a great job with Worthing. May even have to head over to Bognor Regis and try and get a little more roads in there. Nothings happened there since I last did a batch about a month ago.

My first post here, I discovered the diary a few days ago.

So lets see what happened since then:

I did some improvements on the Rhine(de:Rhein) river between Bonn and Bad Honnef and - more important - added several Rhine areas between Bad Honnef and Koblenz and also between Koblenz and Oberwesel, so we have a continuous river now from the delta up to Karlsruhe.

I also added parts of the Kottenforst forest which is now almost complete in the area of Bonn, using Potlatch and its Yahoo! satellite images.
Adding forest/wood areas early in a map does'nt only look nicer, for me it's also a great help to get a good oversight of a larger area with less streets already mapped.

A Problem I see is that while Osmarender renders my forest/wood areas nicely, mapnik has serious problems with glades in forest areas as I do them.
It _always_ fails to realize which area is the actual forest and which is just a space left blank in between - this leads to forests that are not rendered with glades rendered as forests, for examples look west and east of the village Witterschlick near Bonn.

I wonder if there is a solution to this proble other than splitting forest areas?

Apart from mapping some secondary roads and residential areas in Bonn, I also managed to fix many Problems in the area using the JOSMLINT plugin for JOSM - its really much easier than staring at the maplint layer on the slippy map. :-)

By the way, I read in his diary entry that egore911 fixed the A61 around Ahrweiler. Thanks! That may have been (partly) my fault ;-).

I had a nice trip to Ahrweiler last weekend and logged the route. I found that noone else yet did so. I also found out that the A61 was not yet mapped correctly. Both is fixed now and will appear in the next rendering process.

So lets use them

Currently mapping from Pamplona to A Coruña, tracks from a recent trip. A-6, A-231, A-1 and other small ones.

--
Mapeando un log de Pamplona a A Coruña, cosa que incluye A-1, A-6 y A-231 junto con algunas más. Ahora me toca la parte de crear vías paralelas

Just started mapping A73 in the Netherlands. I find there are some traces laid, but they are very erratic.

From the north, I came to exit 4
From the south to exit 9 (not complete)

I keep adding more roads whenever I go somewhere new, but haven't had the time to collect all the names. Going out just to map is just not possible at the moment.

I see someone has added roads to Stotfold. I also saw some segments for Langford, but had not converted them to ways. I'll double check them if I'm out that way again.

Added a few more bits of Worthing this weekend. I'm really trying to get the main routes through the town to hang together.

I'm having a go at making Tarring a little bit more detailed, and continuing to work on the area off Lyndhurst Road in Worthing, plus around Boundstone School in North Lancing.

Well, the "send message" does not work, so I try this way. Last night I added a lot of stuff at Böblingen and sounth... asked to refresh the map, but the results this morning do not really reflect what I did.

Anyone else editing that area just now?

Ciao,
Holger (Holger@Issle.de)

Tosin kuin aiemmin olin muka tarkistanut, niin Tiles@Home renderöintiohjelma toimii sittenkin Debianissa. Löytyy jopa kohtuullisen helpot ohjeetkin, ainakin sellaiselle jolle Debian on tuttu käyttöjärjestelmä jo ennestään.

Nyt olen valjastanut yhden koneen 24/7 karttojen piirtoon - näin voin jälleen auttaa projektia.

We've just been to the Champagne region of France. I was surprised to see how little of the area has been mapped, so I'm looking forward to adding our trip to the area.
Naturally our GPS was logging our every move...

Ohjelmana gpsd ja gpxlogger, näyttää siltä että tarvitaan aina jokin muukin ohjelma kyselemään paikkatietoja, jotka gpxlogger sitten tallentaa. xgpsspeed on se minkä tavallisesti laitan päälle. Ainakin tällä kaavalla saan dataa tiedostoon.

Kokeilin Java editointiohjelmaa (JOSM), mutta se osoittautui hiukan liian sekavaksi käyttää. Sain vedettyä tietä ja tehtyä säätöjä, mutta jostain syystä upload ei onnistunut - tai ainakaan ei tuloksia tullut kartalle päivienkään päästä.

GPS:n tekemistä reiteistä teiden tekoon suosittelen ainakin näin alkuvaiheessa weppisivulta toimivaa Flash editoria (OSM). Sillä voi tehdä ainakin perustiet kätevästi.

View ja Edit tilassa näkymät ovat erilaiset, eli se kestää useita päiviä että Editissä tehdyt säädöt alkavat näkymään julkisemmassa View tilassa.

Harmi että tietokoneen laskentakapasiteetin lahjoitus on alkutekijöissään, en havainnut edes Linux tarballia, .deb paketti olisi tietenkin se kaikista paras.

FOud out how Josm works (at least a bit)

Hello,

I was looking around for aerial pictures of my area because the yahoo-pictures ar enot usefull for my area.

I found highly detailed pictures of my province (Limburg) and also for another province (Oost-Vlaanderen). The link to he pictures for Limburg are here: http://www.limburg.be/giskaarten/frameset.html?../navigatielinks.html&../navigatie.html&index.html

GIS-Vlaanderen has aerial pictures of all the provinces I believe, but I prefer the ones from the site for my province specifically. They have more detail for where I looked (or seem to be clearer).

The nice thing about the pictures on the Liburg-site is the following text at the bottom of the page:

Back from Melfort a bit earlier than expected, which means tweaking of the A82, A83 and A816 to add more nodes to them, as I don't think they are enough of them.

Hello,

my password-issue has been resolved. I can login again. Thanks to TomH for taking the time to help me.

For the interested people ... it was a bug in the http-authentication-parsing-code.

Thank you once again. I uploaded the data that was awaiting upload. So, the town Maasmechelen (Belgium) will shortly have more details.

Thank you and greetings,

Michel

Hello,

I requested it already on IRC, but I am posting it now on my userdiary in the hope to show some persons that there is a need for this ...

Since the migration to the new server (and maybe earlier ...), I can't login anymore to upload osm-data using josm (I tried multiple times). My password is wrong. However, I have a useraccount ..., but can't reset it. Some people on IRC (sorry don't know the names anymore) already assisted me by adding the account-reset-patch to the associated bug and submitting the patch in svn.

However, I'm already waiting quite some time for this patch to become active.

So, I'm now already waiting quite some time to upload osmdata-changes, but I can't, because I don't know my password anymore/change in server/can't reset password.

So, hereby I would like to ask to make the reset-account-patch in svn active please. This way I can submit changes to the mapdata again hoepfully. They are waiting on my computer in an osm-file :).

Thank you and greetings,

Michel

Satellite images don't extend very far out the Warburton Highway, so using the GPS, camera and JOSM to map by foot.
Did the Warburton trail by mountain bike as far as Launching Place. Will complete to Warburton in the next couple of weeks.

I've made some good progress the last month mapping Koblenz. I got most of the city done (except some parts in the "Altstadt" where my tracklog was inaccurate).
Next step is to get tracklogs west of the city but the weather is really bad. It is raining very often and it's not nice to cycle around.

Thanks to a recent update (I just noticed today) Stuttgart now has amazingly high resolution aerial imagery, which should allow me to improve upon my work in Esslingen yesterday as well as improve the rest of Stuttgart. Thanks Yahoo!
