Hi from Canberra

Posted by Max Bott on 23 January 2008 in English.

Hi everyone,

I joined OSM about 6 months ago and I have been mapping around Canberra and the far south coast (Bega valley) since then. I initially started mapping using potlatch and since then moved to JOSM. The feature that prompted me to change to JOSM was the photomapping option which allows me to photograph a streetsign and located it on JOSM.

The combination of GPS, PDA and a digital camera while cycling around is a good combination which has allowed me to (nearly) complete the streetname coverage in the inner northern suburbs of Canberra over a number of lunchtime cycle rides. The maplint addition on the web page is very handy in highlighting the missing streetnames etc.

Now on to map Aranda next lunchtime.

Cheers,
Max
