Local updates to reflect area
Posted by BrickViking on 22 October 2010 in English. Last updated on 28 October 2010.I noticed these streets weren't in the OpenStreetMap database, so I added them from my own knowledge, using GoogleMaps and KiwiMaps data for correlation and to check spelling. I also added some of the local amenities, at least ones where there are icons I can use.
Changes include the following:
* addition of Glenconnor Place at the end of Cossar Street, as Cossar Street doesn't actually go around the corner.
* Change of roundabout into traffic lights. As yet, I haven't seen this on any satellite maps of the area, but I know the work was done as I've been through the intersection several times over the past three months.
* Addition of street names for the street I live in, and adjoining streets. Their placements are unchanged, as they were already in the OSM database, except for the aforementioned Glenconnor Place. My comment below about Baynes Place is actually incorrect, I meant to write Glenconnor, but had a forgetful moment.
* addition of local shops and a postal box in their approximate positions. I can't
plot accurately, as my GPS software on my iPAQ requires a network connection to work, and that's a GoogleMaps application. I'm currently trying to get GPS plus Navit (an application for the PocketPC series) to work sanely, but I'll let you know what luck I have.
