Well, I’m not sure what the Diary feature is for. So I’m just going to list what I’m doing and what I accomplished in OpenStreetMap. After all, today marks my 100th edit to OSM.

I’m currently attempting to run my city (DeLand, FL, USA) and to walk the city in which I work (Daytona Beach, FL, USA). The activities automatically create a GPX trace on my watch, which is automatically imported in CityStrides. I’ve tried to create running routes using Garmin Connect in advance so that I don’t miss some of the roads.

What I discovered is that CityStrides uses OpenStreetMap to generate it’s road data, and that the data isn’t always correct. After CS announced that they were working on an update process to incorporate all of the changes and corrections on OSM into their site, I started making corrections to OSM.

Recently I’ve realized that OSM incorporates far more data than merely road and trails. So I’ve made a resolution to add/correct at least one thing per day in OSM. Since I’m always walking/running somewhere new, it shouldn’t be that hard.

Today’s lunch time walk in Daytona Beach added a prominent pawn shop, changed the name of a street to match the rest of the street, and added the building outline of a church that was already on OSM. A good day’s work.
