Mapping in Portugal

Posted by kaihs on 2 October 2010 in English.

I'm currently for a week of vacation in north Portugal.
Portugal seems quite badly mapped, at least in comparison to Germany.

So I'm trying to add my share to complete the map.

I'm using a Garmin Edge 705 on my bike tours to create a track.
Unfortunately the tracks from yesterday and today are missing big chunks on various places of the tour.
Never had this happen before.

Will have to check tomorrow if gps reception is too bad or if I have a problem with my toolchain.

Location: Terreiro, Caminha (Matriz) e Vilarelho, Caminha, Viana do Castelo, 4910-122, Portugal

The community is small in Portugal, nothing like Germany (or France in my case).
The map grows slowly, we need more help.
To all mappers : take your vacation to Portugal ;)

I certainly did last year, and very enjoyable it was too...! There are also aerial photographs around the Lisbon area at least.....!
