Neophyte Posted by amanc23 on 21 February 2013 in English. Not really sure what the diary is meant to be used for, in the context of cartography. I’m a neophyte mapper - 39 edits so far - and still have a lot to learn.

Nobody’s really sure what the diary is for :)
It’s just there.
A lot of people use it to talk about any interesting issues that come up when mapping. Or to celebrate when they complete a suburb or something.

Let’s say it is an Openstreetmap blog for those who don’t have an Openstreetmap blog…

Thanks for the comments Robert & Jean-Marc. I have no idea how you spotted my diary entry - but it was nice to get a response! :-)

When you access to the OSM website look at the left part. Just over the “GPS tracks” you will find the “user diaries”.
Here is the “trick” :-)
