und wieder verschwindet ein weißer Fleck. Dieses mal Altenstadt an der Iller

As I work all around the world, I get a chance to survey areas where I normally wouldn't go. Vigra is one such. Travelling to Norway, my main intensions will be to visit friends and familly, but work have brought me to Vigra, where Ålesund airport is located, about 30 minutes by car from the city.

During evenings off I have had the chance to go for bicycle rides and walks, and bringing my GPS in a pocket gives me tracks to put up on the map. Before my job here is completed for this time, my goal is to have the main road from the tunel at Valderøy to Vigra Airport, the road from Valderøy via Giske to Godøy (there is another tunel, so I'll probably stop at the tunel entrance), and some other local roads put on the map.

...I bought a GPS and started to record streets around Guarapari, than it became a few trips up and down to Vitoria, and than a few trips to Guacui. It even became a trip to Rio de Janeiro and back. My main goal is set to get Guarapari surveyed and put on the map, but I'll also look into connect as many places within Espirito Santo as I can, and get the main routes connecting Espirito Santo with Rio de Janeiro, Minas Girais and Bahia states

Hallo, hab ich was verpasst? Warum werden in Greiz alle "residential´s" im Osmarender gelb (eigentlich tertiary) dargestellt und in den benachbarten Orten wieder weis?

Por fin llegan las vacaciones y estas incluyen un viaje de más de 2000km cruzando la península de arriba hacia abajo. Y lo mejor de todo mi base de operaciones en Lanjarón, Granada está prácticamente en blanco

Finally holiday season, and im going in a more than 2000 km trip, crossing all Spain from top to down. The best thing its about my base op in Lanjarón, Granada with lots of "here be dragons" spaces all around

Today I made my first experiences with JOSM and I have to say I am pretty much impressed. As a 'GIS specialist' I am still surprised how well OSM works and JOSM is a very well engineered and easy to use tool for a task that usually is quite complex. I cleaned up my so far uploaded data with it needing not much time at all.

And - I reclassified Kupang. It has about 300.000 - 400.000 inhabitants and the provincial capital. I guess it therefore qualifies as 'city' (it was a 'town).

Welchen Wert sollte man bei dynamischen Tempolimits nutzen? Also Limits die durch Wechselverkehrszeichen angezeigt werden.

Wie soll man unlimitierte Autobahnteilstücke kennzeichnen? Ohne Kennzeichnung kann man nicht erkennen ob vergessen wurde den Wert zu pflegen oder ob das Teilstück ohne Tempolimit ist.

Software-Update days:

Die letzten Abende gingen praktisch nur für Software-Einrichten (Bluetooth, I hate you) und Updaten drauf, sowie dem Aufschreiben meiner Erfahrungen unter http://bloodgate.com/wiki/Category:GPS

Bisher habe ich JOSM in der Ubuntu-Version benutzt (war halt über Adept Manager verfügbar :). Auf dem PC (Dual-Core AMD64 2.2Ghz) klappte das auch ganz gut, der Laptop (Dual-Core Intel 1.6 Ghz) war aber sehr ziemlich lahm. Die sehr langsame Zeichengeschwindigkeit in Verbindung mit dem nicht richtig funktionierenden Lupenslider machten ein Arbeiten dann unmöglich.

Heute update auf josm-latest. Die Version in Ubuntu stellte sich dabei als etwas veraltet (März 2008) heraus. Autsch! :)

Die Zeichengeschwindigkeit von josm-latest ist genial, nun ist auch auf dem Laptop ein flüssiges Arbeiten möglich.

Finished the ASL industrial area and a newly built road connection through the ASL complex. Also added the area of the local soaring club.

When visiting my hometown in Switzerland recently, I almost finished the core of the village. Still missing are some industrial areas and a few residential roads -- next time...

I was thinking of loaning my GPS rig to some deserving mapper if there was some way to guarantee that I would get it back.

I was going to make a start Huntingdon on Tuesday, but it was so hot I thought cycling round a town wasn't going to be particularly pleasant, so instead I filled in some rural holes either side of the A1198 Ermine Street, the Royston to Huntingdon road, and completed:
- Whaddon
- Bassingbourn barracks (what of it I could do without infringing the "restricted place as defined by the Official Secrets Act")
- Wimpole village (stopped for lunch at the National Trust's Wimpole Hall, but that's been pretty thoroughly done already)
- Arrington (had had some attention, but was not previously complete)
- Croydon (ditto)
- Shingay-cum-Wendy
- Steeple Morden (had had some attention but was disappointingly arbitrary in what had been done)
- Ashwell (which is over the border in Hertfordshire)
- Odsey (Ashwell & Morden Station)

Ashwell's a pleasant place, but bigger than I was expecting (pop. about 1700) at the end of a long hot day, and on the side of a hill too. But it seemed silly not to finish it since I was there, so I was a bit later back than I intended.

Begin mapping around Bansko,Bulgaria

Astonishing progress on the cycle map recently - I see route 41 has arrived east of Warwick, a bunch of stuff around the South Coast, some new routes in Scotland, loads of regional routes in Cheshire, and no doubt a load more I've not spotted. I've added NCN52 north of Nuneaton and the proposed route of NCN46 between Ledbury and Hereford. Good weather + long evenings = cycle mapping, clearly.

Heute das erste Mal etwas gemappt, und am nächsten Tag festgestellt, daß ca 15 Min später jemand (mit JOSM) das selbe eingestellt hat...

Hi

Have this morning been sorting out Street Classifications and Road Ref Numbers (N12, CR332 ...) for the north of Luxembourg (Eisleck) . The area around Wiltz and Clervaux should be a bit less messy now.

First of all, i don't hvae any GPS device, because i only earn an amount of possibly 2-3 US Dollars a day. I only depend on my own local knowledge. Second of all, there are some streets that aren't aligned, and sometimes are out of place.

And I can't coordinate with the local authorities related to "mapping out" areas of San Pablo City due to my "busy schedule". (Note: What i'm talking about is the San Pablo City in the Philippines and its coverage is quite messy.)

Hopefully, you have a GPS device and try to drive in the streets of San Pablo City and nearby areas (and possibly a good portion of the CALABARZON area) I appreciate your help.

Ian Lopez is out to help improve the world, by adding (and improving) places, streets & areas to the OpenStreetMap.

Returned to Shiplake yesterday, following an earlier visit where I made some amendments to streets and added points of interest, to add further residential streets.

During the last week I started creating data with my Holux GPS in Kupang. Kupang is the provincial capital of Nusa Tenggara Timur, in South-Eastern Indonesia.

Today my entries can be seen for the first time. :-) It's nice to start mapping a blank spot in OSM, has some kind of explorer feeling to it. ;-)

Weitere Korrekturen an der Düne. Nachdem die umliegenden Straßen nun doch sehr nahe an der Wirklichkeit sind, fehlen nun nur noch die "inneren" Fußwege.

Langsam werde ich mit JOSM vertraut, und das neue GPS QStarz BT1000P hilft ungemein, auch unter nicht optimialen Bedingungen kann man dem Trace vertrauen :)
