My goodness, I haven't done very much to OSM recently.

I fixed a wee bit of the Clyde (removed tags on nodes and segments).

Now I've discovered there is a diary...

June 9th, cycled out to Balsham (already mapped) and then over to Linton via Chilford Hall vineyard. Linton village fete underway. Mapped the whole village (about 4,500 people) in about three hours, and then just finished off the small village of Hildersham up the road.

We had a good first day of the Amsterdam Mapping Party. I made my very first contribution to OSM: my oen lovely neighborhood Staatsliedenbuurt. And because the weather was super, I took the dog for an extra long walk around the garden complex 'Nut en Genoegen' ('Purpose And Joy').

Collected some traces south of York last week, but didn't have a chance to get street names etc. Some of those roads were not mapped before.

I have open a new blog to aggregate the OSM italian contributors:

So, nun sind fast 4 Wochen im Mai 2007 vergangen, in denen ich Baldham und Vaterstetten fast komplett gemapped habe.

Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, daß es noch einen/mehr Mapper in der Gegend gab, die die Strecken nicht sehr nutzerfreundlich getagged haben.

Vielleicht liegt es nur an unserer verschiedenen Arbeitsteilung/-auffassung. Ich würde gerne mit dem Mapper in Verbindung treten, denn es wäre schade, wenn wir "gegeneinander" arbeiten.

Freue mich auf die Kontaktaufnahme: bitte komm(t) auf mich zu (hierbei fällt mir auf: wäre es nicht toll, wenn man in JOSM oder in den anderen Applicationen den Erfasser nennen könnte?)

I'm working on (currently planning the way ahead, then will start trying to implement) some improvements to the user account pages and diaries. I've started a wiki page at osm.wiki/index.php/My_Account/Improvements if anybody would like to add suggestions, comments, etc. Cheers!

After struggling with a Garmin iQue Pocket PC giving me the blue screen of death and resetting in the middling of a track I switched to Nokia Sports Tracker for S60 and my bluetooth Holux GPSlim236. This works just nice.

Kann man nicht nur zum Riesenrad fahren nutzen, sondern auch um den Ort etwas zu erweitern .....

Hmm, this is kind of cool. The whole 0.4 switchover hasn't exactly been very smooth, but the amount of cool new things are nice. It might be nice if everybody had all their edits shown, as hiding edits by users is only going to lead to major problems once trolls discover OSM.

Heute haben wir die Stadtbahnlinien 1 und 10 komplett vermessen. Die Linie 4 nur zur Hälfte vom Roderbruch bis Hauptbahnhof.

Heya,

well. This is a bit of a testpost. I still have a lot of traces to upload and I probably should also do some map-editing.
I just had a trip to France where I made traces. I used the nokia N800 with maemo-mapper to create the traces. I also have the navicore-software for the N800. Unfortunately it isn't possible to run both at the same time ... I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. Gpsd (if they both use it ...) should be able to distribute the gps-data among multiple clients. So, I suppose that at least one of the apps connects directly to the bluetooth gps-receiver. Anyway, I still mapped the complete way back (from Mont Saint-Michel - Normandy to Maasmechelen). I also have traces of other places from the small trip to the France.

Greetings,

Michel

Currently working on:

- POI editing (i.e. nodes outside ways)
- a bit of a SQL speedup
- conversion facility for unwayed segments
- various UI changes
- removing Ming dependency for GPS tracks

Update later this week, hopefully.

I'm getting to see the changes that I've been doing recently now that tiles@home has been started again.

That should mean that most of the ncn75 from Edinburgh to Glasgow should now be shown. Also the Forth and Clyde canal from Bowling to Croy should be there too.

It will need a bit of a tidy up and change to cover where there are roads etc. As I have marked most of the route simply as cycleway, which isn't quite right. However at least the ncn route info is there. Additional road traces and local knowledge is needed to get those sections of the map up to date. I have added notes to such effect on the appropriate parts of the route.

In order of preference my bike is far more productive for mapping urban areas than the car or on foot. So when both my bikes get sick I'm kind of at a bit of a loss to know what to do. Clearly I should spend time fixing the puncture and broken spoke but that requires me to get my hands dirty so perhaps best left till the weekend. Still, got some mapping in yesterday around Kings Bromley as well as some more street mapping in Erdington on Monday and a little canal towpath coverage along the Coventry canal on Sunday. That's what probably did the spoke in!

Just testing out some of the new functionality in here. It's looking like a great start!

bus, train, boat, bike, beach etc.

The latest svn commit now has 'read-only' Potlatch (yes, I know how useful a read-only editor is!). Hopefully this'll be deployed soon.

As yet I'm simply porting the current Ruby SQL across as is. In time maybe it can be rewritten with real shiny Rails objects and the like when we've got a better idea of optimising performance.

More to follow.
