Getting jiggy with it...

Starting to have fun thinking about alternate, unmapped ways to get to work, though my phone stopped mapping about 2 miles down the road.

Running back home, things seem to work better - 30 k of data on the phone to be mapped out. I have cleared up some of the roads around my home town, and I have been impressed with Potlatch, allowing to clean up some of the roads. A nice and quick complement to JOSM, which has also given me new faith in Java applications!

Could be interesting to have printed up some thin yellow jackets with "OpenStreetMap - Mapping in Progress" (or some variation thereof). It could get some more people interested in mapping, and immediately explain why you are stopping in the middle of the road to take photos!

First trace uploaded!

Added about 18 km of roads, after managing at last to pair an old bluetooth GPS with my mobile phone with TrailExplorer, I can stuff the gps into a saddle bag, phone in pocket and drive around Paris...
Not too many problems with JOSM - generally painless, but some problems in finding out how to colour a road (that's ok I think now), and more importantly, how to correct a wrong node without deleting 6 miles of mapped road, or correct intersection road names without the complete collection of linked nodes taking a new name... (that is not ok for the moment).

More mapping tomorrow!
