That's because at best resolution, you can only just make out the town.

I'll be there for a few days next week and was hoping to lay down some structure before the Slippy midweek update, so I'd have a printout to work off to get some names. (I traced one road, quite badly, north of the town, but even that might have been a hedgerow). I'll have to do some carefully recorded walks through the streets in when I'm in Methven to get some lines and names that someone else can build on. I did mark the town itself from imagery as a node – a first for me.

I'm a bit concerned about filling up my GPS's tracklog next week because I intend to try some piste mapping in the area. Might have to take a laptop. Might not be a bad idea, anyway, since NZ TV is so rubbish.

Now that I've rubbished your TV, I wonder if anyone from Christchurch or the ski areas would like to message me before Sunday? We could endeavour to catch up. I'll be in Christchurch the first weekend of August.

New topic: I have to get this off my conscience. I lived for a short period in my childhood in an apartment in Rosenweg, Hondelage, Braunschweig, Germany. That's not the confession … wait for it. A few weeks ago, I went into Potlatch and traced it and named it. At that time I didn't know to be careful that all the ways had been loaded. They probably had been. I probably left a mess for someone else to clean up. Terribly sorry. Happy to see Richard has made the "loading ways" message a lot more prominent in 0.10. A real newbie trap, that was. Sometimes I think the barrier to entry for Potlatch is too low.

And I seem to have mostly fixed Eric Crescent after messing with it for a while. It took me a while to figure out the reality in meatspace. According to the street signs, it's more of a Y than a crescent – or maybe a crescent with a growth. Still haven't related the growth part of it. Purcell Street is also something I wrecked. I checked it out and it's a sort of cul-de-sac with an island. I think I just need to revert to how I found it which was pretty close to that. I don't think that counts as a roundabout, mini or otherwise. I've left it as a dead end and lodged an openstreetbug for now.

Happy to see David_Dean put some tracks in from our bushwalks. I have a bit of a backlog of walks to trace. They'll just have to build up for a while.

And now I've realised I left my GPS on all day and have probably wasted yet more expensive, toxic AA batteries. Yep, it's dead. :~(
