There are some new roads... 893 Lesko-Cisna, 894 Hoczew-Bukowiec, unnumbered Bukowiec-Wetlina

While making a few minor improvements, I discovered that a number of nodes of a certain way has been shifted, causing 'spaghetti'. One of them is
osm.org/api/0.5/node/26161165/history
I managed to get it more or less back into the same place.

A search with JOSM (string 'user:Justy') revealed this user also reversed the direction of a oneway :
osm.org/api/0.5/way/4318566/history

I guess at some point I must grep the whole planet for this user name and then go through the tedious task to see if he made more mistakes. (I don't feel like messaging him...)

Getting proper history functionality will be difficult to implement. See

Habe heute eine kleine Farradtour gemappt mit weiteren Waldwegen zwischen Korschenbroich und Giesenkirchen. Auch die Wege um Haus Horst rum.

Habe die Straßen des Landeskrankenhauses Haar (ziemlich große Fläche) nach einer Radtour eingetragen. Vielleicht hat ja jemand noch Ergänzungen.

Added a few more roads in Horsham, West Sussex, UK, over the last week or so. Making slow and steady progress.

done a few munros and took along the gps, now Ben Vane Ben Ime are on the map, added the rest in the area, I know they are there as I seen them from the top.

I've created some proof-of-concept KML tiles for Google Earth (and hopefully other KML-aware applications). Open http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/attachments/20080611/031b2ce7/attachment.kml to give it a try and let me know what you think.

Auf dem Weg zu meinem Vor-Ort-Termin in Bautzen habe ich ab Bernsdorf bei Ruhland an der S92 die Straßennamen innerhalb der Orte ergänzt und grob aufgenommene Straßen verfeinert. Zudem sind noch einige Teile der S97 aufgenommen worden, die S98 in Neschwitz und wiederum innerorts mit Straßennamen anstelle der Staats-Straßenbezeichnung.

Sandbach in Cheshire - along with it's satellite villages Wheelock, Ettiley Heath, Elworth and Malkins Bank - should all now be complete to public road level. Didn't take as long as I was anticipating - completed over the past couple of weekends. Just need to finish tagging up some POI - and there are a few footpaths that I need to revisit. Another step on the road towards completion of the new Cheshire East council area to complement Chris Morley's work in the Cheshire West area.

In einer mehrstündigen Sitzung habe ich die offensichtlichsten Fehler in der Stadt Rinteln korrigiert. Alleine das Hochlade von JOSM zum Server hat fast eine halbe Stunde gedauert.

Gerade rechtzeitig zur morgigen Neurenderung der Mapnik-Karte.

Entstanden sind diese Fehler übrigens überwiegend durch einen Neuling, der einfach drauf los gearbeitet hat, ohne sich mal vorher über sein Werkzeug zu informieren. Teilweise lagen bis zu 5 Straßen (!) direkt übereinander...

Biking and hiking trail

I've just completed a mega edit session from my two days in the blistering heat that was the Durham Mapping Party last weekend. Awesome mapping and some great real ale at £1.50 a pint at the end of the first day, doesn't get much better than that! While the others, who were on foot, focussed on Durham itself I headed out both days with the bike to the east of the A1(M) managing to complete the following villages and hamlets in the two days (in order of doing them): Saturday - Belmont, Shadforth and Carrville. Sunday - Ludworth, Haswell Plough, Haswell, Sherburn Hill, Sherburn and High Shincliffe. Some of NCN route 14 also got added, as well as some tidying up on the way in and out of Durham. Stopped overnight on Saturday at a very pleasant small camp/caravan site just of the A181, Strawberry Fields. Thanks to Gregory (Living with Dragons) for setting it up and getting everyone organised.

Fixed up the overflow car park, the common across from the Palace, added Campbell Road and the Hampton Court House school. Area looks much cleaner now.

I've made a small correction to the road I live on in Perinton, NY. It's been mislabelled in the Tiger Database for about 6 years (at least that's when I noticed the problem). I've changed the name from "Rolling Hills Rd" to "Rolling Hill Dr".

I just marked the footbridge (bikes and peds) over to the shoreway.

Ich würde gerne den Kreideberg in Lüneburg mappen, da ich in der Gegend wohne. Allerdings habe ich kein GPS-Gerät zur Verfügung. Kann mir jemand die Traces bereitstellen?

I took the train down to Arundel on Sunday, which was a bright sunny and very warm day [25C]; as usual the train was late ;-). The purpose of the trip was to break in a new pair of boots, geocaching and some mapping too.

Once I arrived at Arundel station I proceeded to walk up through the town, past the castle, and down to the A27 roundabout before taking the first available footpath heading up towards Tortington Common. It was very muddy there; almost swampy in places. Once there I carried on through Binsted and Paine's Woods, before walking down to Goose Green and back to the station again, via Binsted Woods and Tortington Common once more. Parts of Binsted Wood were also very boggy and swampy in places. I managed to map many of the footpaths/bridleways in the area and plan to go back in the next 2-4 weeks and map other footpaths/tracks in the woods between Madehurst and the top of Arundel itself.

As usual there was lots of wildlife about; deer, rabbits, foxes, pheasents, lots of other more common birds too and some rather less common ones too such as yellowhammers and buntings. Didn't see too many people, although there were some youths camping in the far end of Binsted Wood.

Other walkers using this area should be aware that there are ticks about; found two wandering on my hands and arms, luckily I managed to remove them before they attached themselves to me. No I'm not squeamish, I just don't fancy Lyme Disease. Also, GPS reception is very patchy at times in these woods, even with a high sensitivity receiver such as a Garmin Etrex Legend Hcx. My other GPSr, a Garmin GPSmap 60c was losing lock very frequently.

The whole walk was 15 miles in all, oh and I managed to get some geocaching done too ;-)

I finished the rough roads in Magstadt yesterday. Fine tagging can now be done incidentially.
Will now continue to do the field tracks around Magstadt, Grafenau and Maichingen.

Added/fixed some roads in and around Bellbowrie.

After little break I have processed a little bit of my data...
Few additions in Wrocław (e.g. Nowy Dwór), few corrections (Galeria Dominikańska looks better now). I have also flushed remaining data about Bochnia. And, last but not least, I have used my data from trip to Bieszczady, to correct and add streets in Sanok.
