OpenStreetMap
It is time to start using a different medium for surveying my area. Centro is as complete as I can do it with GPS and a car. I need a bike (to cover cycleways), and I need to start making a series of notes to add house numbers/house names, add amenities that I don't regularly use, find street names that still isn't in. Other items on the list cover such as:
* Zebra crossings
* Light signals
* Lit/unlit streets
* Turn restrictions
* Photo boxes
* Access restrictions
* CEP (postal codes of streets)
* Public phones
* Post boxes
* Gas station fuel types
* Restaurant Cuisine types
So with a dedicated notepad, a car and a bicycle, Guarapari will be even more set more on the map.

Don't forget cycle parking either! It's useful to note the capacity and whether it's covered or not.

I have switched to recording audio, and now talk to myself in the car lol.

I don't think there exists any cycle parkings in Guarapari, if I ever find one, I'll make sure to enter it into OSM.
Audio mapping doesn't sound that bad, at least I can hear from the tape when I passed a speed bump in too high speed...... That is by the way something more I need to enter into OSM....

What are photo boxes?
Comment from Skippern on 23 May 2009 at 16:49
it have different names in different countries, maybe you will call it speed camera? automated traffic enforcement?

I yes, speed cameras. I was pondering something similar to post boxes!
