I noted Mornington Crescent was shown on the wrong branch of the Northern Line (yes, thank you Mrs Trellis. I am quite away of that) and so finally created a userid here and tried to relocate it. The 'edit' page now appears correct, but the 'view' doesn't.

I'm guessing either lag or review of new user edits?

Sorry, I need a GPS track (preferencly by car) from center of Paris.

I can´t find it in GPS traces because are many and it´s dificult.

Can you help me?

nun habe ich die ersten Straßen in Groß Schneen, meist zu Fuß,
mit GPS erkundet.
Dabei stellen sich doch immer wieder Fragen, wie man es am Besten
macht, v.a. das Digitalisieren der Straßenstümpfe. Ich werde wohl
noch etwas rumprobieren müssen.

Mit JOSM komme ich noch nicht recht klar, die Bedienung weicht doch
zu sehr von mir bekanntem ab. Wenn mal Zeit ist werde ich mir das
noch mal genauer ansehen.

OK, there are some new traces, helping me to map out my neighborhood. Currently I'm working with Potlatch, but using an old version of the flash software really makes editing difficult. Therefore I need to get JOSM running, but the broken NVidia driver keeps me from it.

After discovering that SteveZ kindly converts the weekly planet.osm into garmin images which can be uploaded to a garmin gps I couldn't wait to see my latest updates to OSM on my own little GPS.

One of the nice things about this is that you can easily see if a street has been mapped before or not, which makes it easy to add new streets to your route and add them to OSM when you get home.

Anyway after riding home from work and deciding to do a few more k's I noticed that that the end of Arden St hadn't been mapped accroding to my GPS. So I rode various loops around all the streets there to record them on my GPS.

Only to get home to find that they all existed. Seems like BlueMM had mapped them all in the last week.

Oh well at least it was fun riding around a new bit of Melbourne.

I've just added the road that leads from my village to the town together with a couple of ways of getting there from my street.
I've also extended the A-6, the motorway that runs nearby in order to get it ready to be joined by another street I'm working on in the town.
This was my first time out with my GPS receiver and laptop. I'm pleased with the results. This is a necessity here because the aerial imaging is horrible for my part of the world.

Today I finished my tool which helps you to map highways. You simply create the lane which you have logged and let my tool shift it to create the lane of the other side. You find it on my website http://www.lenz-online.de/divers/mapping.htm

Just completed a Slippy Map written in VB.Net. It works exactly as the online Slippies do but works from pre-loaded tiles. The next stage is to incorporate it into BSGPS so that tiles can be downloaded before a mapping trip. Then transfer it to the PDA version.

When cleaning up a duplicated way of the Radel-Thon cycleway around Stuttgart, Germany, I managed to somehow delete a part of it - luckily the nodes still existed. (It involved a condition 412 and me manually editing the OSM file - don't ask.) I re-created it as good as I could, but there is a small part in Hedelfingen crossing the Neckar where it shares the nodes of a road - but I don't know which, since neither osmarender nor Mapnik show the route above the roads. Please redo if you know. Thanks.

Today I tried the BGT-11 GPS logger and got two traces, which I uploaded. Well, it worked and the map grew some previously unknown streets. :-)

Ich habe letzte Woche das Wegenetz des Türkenschanzpark in Wien mit einem Handheld GPS vermessen. Wenn ich es schaffe, werde ich die Daten bald online stellen.

Ich habe die B209 angelegt:

I discovered openstreetmaps last week. I started by adding the name for my home street. Yesterday I mapped some cycleways and shortcuts while walking the dogs. Looks like an addictive hobby indeed. :-)

On browsing the mapnik renderings, I found that parts of Chelmsford, Essex looked a bit crazy.

I've corrected the underlying data, which seems to have been caused by a user who remains nameless via potlatch.

Et si Communauto demandait à ses utilisateurs de partager leurs traces GPS ?

Trying to figure out how to use all of this :-)

The phrase comes from a poem - don't be offended.
Yesterday my gps took a 630km trip to Hay and other parts to start recording some highways. Today its off again to southern parts and probably a shorter trip, courtesy of the man who changes eftpos machines.
Expect some progress after a few days - it will take time to make tracks from all that data.
On Friday I have to go to Adelaide and will choose different ways for each direction so that more highways get mapped.

Potlatch now draws casing (a black outline) for any ways with a highway tag, and fills areas for any "circular" ways (same start and end) with certain tags. The colours need some adjusting: thus far it's only key-sensitive, not value-sensitive, and the casing has shown up that some of the highway colours need to be toned down. But it definitely looks better already.

Note that you still select a way, even a filled area, by clicking on the way. Potlatch purposefully doesn't select it if you click on the fill - because that'd make it pretty much impossible to draw, say, roads within an area with a landuse tag.
