Interesting link on Joel Spolky's blog - a website that calculates a score based on how many amenities you can walk to from a certain location:

I guess it would be rather easy to extend our Name finder with that functionality.

I started to map this neighbourghood, it has the same problems as IC Frimu (lots of small streets), I hope to finish it in the next weekend.

I finished this quite large neighbourghood, because it has a lot of small streets.

Had to drive to Melbourne today to pick up a DVD recorder from the workshop so I decided to make a mapping trip out of it. Drove from Moe to Willow Grove then on to Noojee with a stop to hike into Toorongo Falls. Hiked into the Old Trestle Bridge at Noojee and then after a quick lunch drove on up through Poweltown to Yarra Junction and then back down in to Gembrook before heading in to Knox City. Quick trip to Springvale Junction and then back home down the Freeway. 17,578 points logged and 391km's later I'm home and just spent the last 2 hours tracing some of the new roads. Time for bed now.

Regards
Mike.

courtesy of Neil Newell http://hazeii.net/sdw/ I have uploaded two tracks for the whole of the South Downs Way. I've filled in map data those parts that I at least have a vague idea about. I will leave the rest for people who know the area better.

What is wrong with that one:

The next one in the south is ok.

Found out about this project during the weekend and have now uploaded the missing road to where I live... More to come, this project looks absolutely amazing. I love maps...

done

My nearest neighbor is about 20 km away, so I'm pretty alone here. Until I get my GPS logger I can only hope for good luck, which means that someone drives through my area and uploads the trace.

Yesterday I took a few deviations home from work - Saturday is a half day - to fill in some tracks.
Today I set out to do some unsealed roads near home, riding about 14km on some bad surfaces. At that speed, setting the GPS to record a point every 30 secs has given me some very usable traces.
At the same time, my husband has ridden around in town and recorded another track.
Tomorrow I go to work, but I will leave my GPS with a friend who has to drive about 300km Monday and maybe 400km on Tuesday so we can get some main roads recorded.

What is going on?

It will take at least several months until my new smartphone will be able to do the job as GPS logger. So I will get myself a cheap GPS logger to get started with mapping soon.

Hello,

I was very interested in this project, so I found out a way to log my routes on a PDA (with a Bluetooth GPS unit).
But when adding it to this map, I noticed that my points aren't acurate enough (the GPS unit is an older one). This is the reason why I'm stopped now... If I ever get a new unit (SIRIFIII or better) I'll try to get back here!

Created many 100 kilometers from Bangkok to Nan and from Bangkok to the Khao Yai National Park.

Filled in travels in northern Cambridgeshire, and a few residential streets in the north of March.

So, habe mein GPS nun seit einer Woche und angefangen in Landau ein wenig
zu tracken. Angefangen mit der Wollmesheimer Höhe und dem Weg zur
Arbeit in LU.

OpenStreetMap shows me living in a big blank space.
So far I've collected a few short GPS traces and uploaded them but still nothing is seen on the map.
I'm working out how to get others collecting traces who are driving long distances and by next month we hope to have joined the rest of Australia.

A meeting in the East Midlands yesterday gave me the opportunity to take a short detour on the way home and map the A63 between Howden and Selby.

I think that completes the inter-urban A roads in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Dienstag-Abend, 13. Nov. 2007:

So langsam steige ich hinter die kleinen Geheimnisse von JOSM 417.
Nachdem ich mehrfach verzweifelt versucht habe, im Bereich "Getting started" über "Download some data from OSM server" bestehende Daten als Hintergrund für meine GPX-Files zu bekommen, weiss ich nun, dass ich erst einmal einen GPX-File laden muss, und danach(!) mit dieser Funktion bereits bestehende OSM-Daten hinzuladen kann.

A weekend away in west wales gave an opportunity to try out OSMTracker as a passenger rather than just as a driver. When it has the tiles it needs already downloaded, or where there is a good mobile phone signal it works well, but I have problems with its mapping function in new areas where mobile phone coverage is poor. Some strange things happen if it decides it needs to download a tile when there is no mobile connection. I'd really like to be able to tell it not to do any mapping anmd not to try to get data from the Internet. I really should put a note on its Wiki entry.

I took the opportunity on the way back to map the A163 between Bubwith and Holme upon Spalding Moor.

Still looking at the GPS traces from the drives back and forth between East Yorkshire and Pembrokeshire.
