I have done all the easy Bing tracings of Guarapari and surroundings, there are stil much to do, but things are getting more complicated. Items are either imensely huge, tiny, difficult to destinguish, etc. I am still doing some random Bing tracings, random places of interest to me.

I have also downloaded a series of Brazilian Nautical Charts, and as I get the .png convertions calibrated I'll use them for tracings. All this are in Public Domain under Brazilian law, provaided by the Brazilian Hydrographic Institute. All calibration is done against coastline, first towards existing coastline in database, than I check the existingncoastline against Bing, Landsat, and readjust the calibration until I have best fit between the Nautical Charts and at least one other source. After importing the desired objects into JOSM I control these objects towards Bing in order to get an as accurate possition as possible, before uploading the changes to the database. This have until now resulted in a lot of objects adjescent to the nautical objects been added from Bing also. The Nautical Charts have also to some extent additional information for existing objects, this information is of course added. Until now the following areas have been imported this way:
Punta de Ubu terminal with approaches,
Port ov Vila Velha, Vitoria and Tubarão with approaches,
Port of Macaé uncluding Mercado de Peixe and Imbetiba terminal, with approaches

Other areas to come, but than I need to calibrate the charts first. I want to do the remote islands and islets of Brazil this way, but it is very difficult to calibrate these charts, as they lack Bing data, have only low resolution Landsat coverage, and there are very few features visible in the database and in other sources. Calibrating the Rocha Atol with only the position of the lighthouse to calibrate against is hopeless, I need at least two more objects to get a satisfactory calibration.

I continue to work on my INT-1 documentation, preset and MapCSS, but are getting little progress. One reason is that I have documented all the information I have available from offline resources, and have had limited time and access to work with the online sources. Further I have made .svg icons of many of the easier objects, though are planning on making coloured buoy icons for map rendering. The preset is getting most attention while I do imports of nautical data, as I constantly find errors and missing detailes. I tempt to make the preset such that it reflects all imported data, though the SeaMark plugin is still necessary for buoys, beacons ans lights. The MapCSS is randomly tested in my JOSM, though I hope I can get a tileserver somewhere using it to give a graphical presentation of nautical charts.

As I mentioned in my previous post, a new mobile phone will allow me import more POIs using Mapzen, and I have started to gather geotagged photos for photomapping. Gathered my first gpx track in more than two years, and will look into that also. Maybe osmtracker also will allow me to start voice mapping and make geotagged notes.

Yesterday I also looked at a dirt bike, so maybe in the near future I can be seen on tracks and dirt roads around Guarapari gathering more gpx tracks.
