I've been adding new tracks regularly now, it's getting much easier as time goes on.

I've decided I'll focus on urban features around my office and living place (Mont-Royal and Outremont respectively), kids features - because I have 3 :) (water parks, drinking water, picnic areas, family-friendly hiking) and cycle routes.

With my limited time those are mapping activities I can do during a lunch break, or while going for groceries, or while spending time with the family.

Here are a few tricks that I found by trial and error:
- When mapping a trail you know you'll visit again in your way back, adopt a convention - ie. "all POIs mapped are only at my right". I once mapped all POIs on both sides and couldn't make sense out of it later :)
- Use walking-papers.org to print an area you know you will spend time at. OSM Tracker or other mobile apps for mapping may just not be that convenient for some surveys
- Walking-papers printouts also help explain what you're doing. While surveying a pool one of the security people thought I was taking pictures with my mobile phone!.. I'll spare you the rest.
- Break your GPS traces in small manageable sizes. I once did a huge trace (5 hours hike) and the job to put it on OSM was too much to tackle in one session.
- Add a note at the beginning of your surveys indicating what they are about. I have some traces I completely forgot why I had saved in the first place.

For now I don't rely much on other mappers, I like experimenting a bit before asking for help. So far the Wiki has been very effective to find features I didn't know how to map so I guess I'll need help with more advanced stuff as I progress in my contributions.

Happy mapping!
