Navigating by OSM | That went rather well. Sure, it maybe sometimes sent me down a slower road that I might’ve taken, but at no time was I actually lost or confused. Saved me a ton of cash on Garmin maps, too. Great work by the UK mappers and routers! |

End of Newton Mearns mapping for now | Thanks for the edits. I’m back visiting where I grew up, and you pretty much caught all the stuff I thought no-one but me would map … |

This week, I have been mostly mapping wind farms ... | Chaos99: really? I thought that Ctrl+V was a Java standard. Didn’t know anything could change that. I started using the standard JNLP version because I was sick of having it complain about updates. Tom Chance: it’s not that hard to add machine type, especially when I’ve worked on or around the projects I’ve mapped. I can now recognize machine type from air photos, alas ;-) Failing that, there are public records or news releases from the manufacturers which can help. |

pondering import of wind farms | I managed to convert the waypoints to OSM using GPSBabel, and then uploaded via josm - thanks! |

pondering import of wind farms | thanks, nmixter, but would't potlatch expect me to drag a new symbol over each point? That would get old after the third unit or so. |
