Mapping


I don't have a car, but I map what I can with my bike. I use a SE V600i mobile phone and external GPS, and I tried mapping street names by memory, digtial photos and audio. Now I am a big fan of audio mapping.

Other OSM work


I'm working here and there: general writing in the wiki, discussion about tags, a JOSM plugin for audio mapping (might be released soon), small fixes for J2ME software, the virtualTiles@home client (also to be released soon)...
