Wamboin, NSW - streets complete

Апублікавана карыстальнікам mos6510 1 Кастрычнік 2007 на мове English

I've just completed Wamboin, NSW Australia streets.
Still working on Kurri Kurri (more surveying required!)

I notice people are creating ways without names in the Canberra area, especially Royalla and Deakin. Why bother creating a way if you don't have all the details? It means someone is going to have to revisit that map area in the future. Worse still is that people may think the area is complete - which it certainly is not if it is missing road names, etc.

Rename of all my ways.

I was alerted by another local mapper (nm7s9) to the fact that it is recommended that we shouldn't use abbreviations for road types (i.e. no St, Rd, Ave, Tce, etc, etc). Unfortunately this is excactly what I was doing :-(.

I've just gone through and changed all the ways I've done. It took a few hours but now I'm sure that every way I've ever done is named properly. Thank god for JOSM's ability to save to an OSM file, and thank god for grep!
Lucky it was slow at work today ;-)

Tarago, NSW, Australia

Апублікавана карыстальнікам mos6510 19 Жнівень 2007 на мове English

Tarago streets are done. It's only half a dozen streets (or so), but it's actually a fair bit of work to do accurately!

Now that I've done Tarago, and all of the towns and estates between Bungendore and Queanbeyan, it's time to ramp up my efforts and complete a real challenge. Queanbeyan!

Fairbairn and Brindabella Buis

Completed an outline of Googong dam (with Islands) a few days ago. I copied the method used on Lake Burley Griffin (good work whoever did that one!)

Completed Yass Road from the roundabout in Queanbeyan to the first roundabout at Brindabella Business park tonight.

In the next few days I should have Fairbairn complete, and with any luck, Brindabella Business Park too.

I've decided to ditch Potlatch and use JOSM full time now as it looks like the Potlatch author is making changes on the fly. What was with the change in line thickness a few days ago?? Now it's back to the way it was! Maybe I hit a wrong key or something?

Also, I did, and re-did, only to do again, the Googong dam way. I did it the first couple of times in Potlatch but some of the changes didn't stick after checking it 24 hours later. I was getting segments that weren't part of the dam's way, even though they were all created sequentially in the one sitting. Very strange. Finally resorted to JOSM in the end. I'll scream if the data is still broken next time I check it..

Mapping east of the ACT.

Апублікавана карыстальнікам mos6510 30 Ліпень 2007 на мове English

Oaks Estate streets are done.
50% of Bungendore streets are done.
Carlton Estate streets are done.
Some of Queanbeyan is done.

I will be focusing on the rest of Bungendore, Captains Flat and stepping up effort for Queanbeyan mapping over the next few weeks.
