Whoa!

I never thought GPS devices are SOOO inaccurate! The first walk was a bit of a failure, we decided with my Lady to go out for a little walk and map the forrest footways. The GPS tracklog jumps here and there, 15 meters not a measure. Luckily enough i had two devices recording simultaneously so i was able to reconstruct at least some of the data by averaging.

And i have to say, JOSM sucks a bit less than i first expected, it has some neat functions, but still needs some serious work. What a pity i don't do Java...

I wanted so badly to see my first submission in the live data that i followed the directions in the wiki for requesting a re-render for either map renderer, but with no luck. Neither would rerender anything, Mapnik even laughed at my face with one tile finally rerendered but still with old data contents. What a disappointment. There should be a power tower in the map!
