Another addict

Posted by Gary68 on 8 July 2008 in English.

Hi everybody,

after I heard of OSM I instantly became an addict. Before I was geocaching (one of the first in Germany). I added the first 100 nodes and ways and everything runs ok. The tiles aren't updated often enough for a beginner to see his results but I installed KOSMOS and plan to have my own render rules which I might publish. I own a Garmin etrex legend HCx and promise to use it for the right thing :-)

Mostly I use josm with added photos but occasionally I change to the web front end because of the satellite images.

I started with some tracks in the fields, mapped a village and a park. Let's see what is the most fun. For me it's best that I can do it where I want and when I want.

I also peeked into tile rendering but I suppose my compute power will not be sufficient to make a difference ;-)

Mark your waypoints!
