GPS didn't work in the train from Heide to Husum and it only started to work outside Husum.

I used the time with my parents in Heide for some OSM. I generated some new tracks and found out that some people only upload their stuff without turning the tracks into streets. I gave my best to make use of them.

GPSBabel seems to be able to extract dates correctly from my Garmin GPS72:
I set it to Garmin serial/USB protocol, COM1 and export "Tracks" into GPX XML.

Dear Diary!

This is my frist active day on open street maps. I collected some data over the weekend to have something to play around with. Now I tried to upload my data to the db and failed several times. My lent Garmin G72 doesn't produce the right output but after some fiddling around with GPSBabel I now at least can import that GPX file into JOSM.

That is the OSM Java Editor. The handling of it is a bit crappy. At least on my PC - might be because it's not too fast a machine. But it doesn't feel like home yet.

I digitzed my data and tried to categorieze and name the streets. I am not sure if everything is correct. But it will be a basis for future users. I hope my upload worked. JOSM confirmed to upload but there seems to be no way to preview my stuff before they rerender the map.

Then I checked out Potlatch. That is the OSM online flash editor. It looks nicer but isn't all too easy. You can use all functions with the same tool. I am sure that it's pretty useful when you know what you are doing.
