- self-drawn schematic paper maps are impractical when you lose the overwiew over the area
- voice records might be my way to go in the future although they might attract looks...
- Near your home it may be an option to do the mapping work in a two-pass process: Tracking first, street names and other details afterwards (using the already osmarendered map to take notes)

So: Much work done today, even more remains to be done...
