Den Sportpark im Südosten korrigiert, bzw. aufgenommen.

Eine kleine Strasse im Norden entlang des Kanals aufgenommen.

Zum Zeitpunkt des Posts bereits in der Karte vorhanden.

Sorry for, this note is in Polish language.

Apel do ludzi dobrej woli tworzących plan Warszawy:

1. Używajcie nazw ulic (dzielcie je na mniejsze odcinki wg ich nazw)

2. Zaznaczajcie kierunek ruchu (dotyczy także ulic z oddzielnymi jezdniami w przeciwnych kierunkach).

Dziękuję!

A few little improvements to Potlatch, mostly triggered by my own experiences using it over the past couple of weeks.

First of all, when you shift-click to add a point into a way, you can now drag the point at the same time. Really useful if you're taking a rough way and making it higher resolution.

There's a "force reupload" button for those occasions when the server isn't responding and you can't get rid of those negative ids. Just press 'F'.

And, finally, you can now convert a way of unwayed segments into a way, so you needn't stop editing when you see the dreaded pink lines. Get the unwayed segments on-screen (use the options dialogue, then click the GPS tracks button). Move to a vertex on the pink line. Then press 'U'. A way will be created extending in either direction, until there's a junction, or a change in segment direction (eventually, I'd like it to automatically reorder segments, too).

I don't really like having functionality solely hidden behind a keypress and plan to make the latter two more accessible in time, but it's a start.

'Undo' next, maybe?

As the weather was good this morning, I went out a mapped a bit more of South Wimbledon.
This time it was roads south of Merton High Street, bounded by Morden Road to the West, the river Wandle to the East, and Merantun Way to the South.

The roads have all been marked up, so hopefully i'll see them in the next day or so (although still waiting for my last set to be rendered, so maybe there were some problems over the weekend).

Next job I think will be to put Morden Road in. It's a bit of a nightmare where the A24 splits off and goes East (along Merantun Way), leaving the A219 to continue North. Lots of one-way bits and weird junctions. Fun fun fun! :)

More Potlatch editing, started on Yarralumla.

OK, the rain held off long enough for me to finish off my track logs of South Wimbledon south of Kingston Road (bounded by the Tram line and Morden Road).
Well ish. Damn batteries died again. :(

The A428 road between Cambridge and Bedford has been dualled as far as Caxton Gibbet (where it meets the A1198 between Royston and Huntingdon). The old road has been declassified and rerouted in several places.

I mapped all this on July 20. Also the village of Hardwick, west of Cambridge, and the northern half of the new town of Cambourne a few miles further west; there's still quite a bit to do there. Also enabled me to link up Scotland Road at Dry Drayton with Hardwick.

Well, having gone out a number of weeks ago and got lovely GPS tracklogs of all the streets between Wimbledon Mainline and South Wimbledon stations, only to find someone had beaten me to it (although there's a couple of little roads missed, and no pubs or anything marked), I thought i'd best get on with some other bits round South Wimbledon.

Started walking the roads south of Kingston Road, bounded by Morden Road on the East, and the Tram line on the West.
Batteries died on me (D'oh!), so I had to stop half way, but will try and finish it off this weekend (weather permitting).

Not sure how to mark up the Emergency Access Gates on some of the roads though.
Guess i'll have to see what someone else has done and just copy that (although that will require getting going with JOSM, rather than Potlatch which i've been using so far (but then I need to do that anyway, coz Potlatch doesn't allow me to do everything I want)).

Well I was back visiting the folks the other weekend, and actually remembered my GPS, so I thought i'd make a start on mapping Crowborough, as it's pretty much empty (appart from the A26 going through it).

Got a fair bit done, and marked up the roads I can remember the names of. Might have the points where some of them change names slightly wrong, but I can fix that on further visits.

Need a few more visits to expand on all the other housing estates, and mark positions of things like pubs, postboxes and churches.

Hello,

I'm just back from a journey to Norway by car. I collected some gps-tracklogs and waypoints while travelling.

Unfortunately, I don't have tracklogs of the complete route, but from big parts in Norway anyway. It also seems to some big parts aren't present on the map yet.

If you see big holes in the gps-tracks, they are probably tunnels. One of them should be ~24 km long (longest tunnel in Europe or so I think).

I uploaded the tracklogs for Copenhagen (walking), travelling around Odda to the area around Gaupne and "to" the Hardangervidda (walking). I also have waypoints that point to a starting-point and a route to get on the DNT-walking-network in the Hardangervidda.

I'm haveing trouble however uploading gpx-tracklogs for my journey from Oslo to Odda (a route that isn't present on the map yet) and the Hardangervidda-route. Both load fine in josm. We had to skip a tunnel however and take a mountainpass (very nice) because of roadworks or so. Anyway, the import of th tracklog fails ... Here is the error that I get:

Hi,

It looks like your GPX file

  Kopenhagen_tot_odda_camping.gpx

failed to import. Here's the error:

That north east sector needs mapping!

Peddle Peddle! :)

If a way hasn't uploaded (i.e. negative id), but the '!' icon isn't showing up... unplug your network cable (or turn your wifi off). The '!' icon will appear, either immediately or when you pan the map. Reconnect, click the icon, and upload.

I should probably fix that more elegantly.

Nice trip last weekend to the border of France.
Over 200km of tracks, and still i have work with La Coruña trip

My nodes, segments, and ways uploaded with JOSM show up in the edit (Potlatch) program, but still don't show up in either the Mapnik nor the Osmarender maps. Supposedly Mapnik updates weekly on Wednesday, and it's already Thursday GMT.

Good news is that the placename search was only broken for 2 days or so.

Guess I have to figure out how to write my own tiling program and mirror OSM on my own server. Then I can stop bitching and do the work myself.

I'm going to be heading out on the road to Colorado starting this eve. Hopefully I will be able to offload my traces often enough that I can generate something useful from the trip.

Just created my little wiki user page :-)

This is my first diary entry. I'm currently exploring potlatch and josm to get a hang of mapping. My main area of interest is Linz in Austria and I'm wondering who else in mapping there.

Uploaded some GPS traces.
Currently no time to map them. Sorry

the placename search is broken:

Application error

Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code) in public/500.html

and I can't login to trac using my OSM username/password.

my highway 11 tracks made it in after the changes reported in my blog, and another OSMer deleted my tainted tracks. now I'm working on a way of extracting a certain bounding box from the TIGER data, and also getting better at using the Potlatch online editor. things are looking good! maybe I can do the whole state of New Mexico single-handed... maybe not.
