I've known about some missing streets near me for a while, and only just had the chance to drive down them with a GPS. When I went to go over the trace I found that I'd been beaten. The only thing I got to do was "upgrade" the source tags to be "survey".

When I take my dog to the park, I've been taking the occasional detour so I can build up a map of all the walking tracks in the reserve. The OSM map now has way more coverage for walking tracks than any of the other maps I know of. There are still some bits I need to explore, but I'll add them as I go.

The other day I was at one of the ovals and some people asked me if I knew if there was a walking track from one oval to another. The map at the park which they were looking at didn't have any connection, but they thought there should be one. Luckily for them, I had some fairly recent OSM maps loaded in my n810 so I could be a little bit less vague when giving directions.

So then a few questions:

1) How does one generally go about mapping a creek? There are a few creeks in the area which you can't see from the yahoo images, and in lots of spots they aren't really walkable.

2) I'm also not quite sure how to label the reserve. There are signs that indicate it is called "Twin Creeks Reserve", but I don't think that this name extends all the way north, so I don't know where the boundary would be.

3) Is it possible to share nodes between ways in potlach? Or else, does someone want to fix up the dodginess around the northern field (Brown's field) - there isn't any gap between the field and bush. Or should I just put the field in a layer above the bush?

(oh, and first post)
