The big Move

Verfasst von DrMark am 4. Oktober 2009 in English

Well, I've now moved to the Isle of Wight permanently.

Had a look at 'users near me' - one has done 4 edits, ever, between all of those listed. No help there then I guess...

As the IOW is mostly mapped, I should be able to concentrate on completing stuff - footpaths, shops / attractions / POI's need doing. I bought a bicycle, not just for OSM obviously but it will help.

Ort: Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England, United Kingdom

Back home

Verfasst von DrMark am 29. August 2008 in English

Well, that's this years trip abroad done. Back home, I find that Wat Tyler Country park will bear some trips out with the dogs - we split the party last week & I left the GPS with the girls, to get the miniature railway mapped.
Of course, the dogs & I proceeded to get thoroughly lost on the footpaths...
We'll be back! Probably this weekend. Anyone mapping in Basildon?

Botswana

Verfasst von DrMark am 13. August 2008 in English

Having driven most of the country now, I find fuel stations are a major consideration - due to being infrequent... Many added.

I've outlined a lot of Gaborone, and done a little detail round the block we're visiting.

A number of extant roads are tagged "interestingly" eg dirt tracks as secondary. If I've tagged it above unclassified it's a proper road!

Editing foreign parts

Verfasst von DrMark am 5. August 2008 in English

Gaborone, Botswana - a capital city with 2 roads - until this week :]
I'm not going to get it all done, but it's a decent start - just batting about the place shopping & having tea seems to be getting a fair crack at it. The residential roads are not like home; it's all numbered blocks with guards on gates so I can only do one block, but the connecting roads are fair game - -have decided to mark them at the residential level as the inner zones are very small, but I wonder if named unclassified is nearer correct?
