I live in an area of Warrington that at one time formed the Burtonwood Airforce Base - previously this was the biggest US Airforce outside the USA. But it got decommisioned a good few years ago, and recently it's been developed, and will become the Chapelford Urban Village.

It's slowly beginning to take shape, but it's dismayed me for the past 2 or 3 years that none of this development has been represented on any maps or atlases.

So... having come across OSM in the past few days, I saw this as an opportunity to finally get it on the map. So I set out this lunch time with PDA & Bluetooth on my bike to have a test run at mapping the new estate. I used the OSMTracker PDA software, and it seems to have done the trick. The GPS trace is uploaded.

I tried to use JOSM, but ended up confused, so I'll have to read through the tutorials another day. So I defaulted to Potlatch, and this now seems to have uploaded to OSM.
