Z Lokte přes Karlovy Vary až po Klášterec nad Ohří, to byly nádherné tři dny na kánoi s kamarády. I když Ohře byla znázorněna pouze jako linerární waterway, na kánoi se tak dlouho nedá plavit ani středem řeky, ani podél břehu, takže zde jsem neměl jako pomoct k mapování říční plochy. Časté zastávky však přispěli do OSM alespoň několika hospodama, chodníkama a mosty.

Heute bin ich Cornberg im Werra Meissner Kreis abgefahren und habe alle gefundenen Straßen und einige POI eingezeichnet. Einige wenige vorhandene habe ich etwas korrigiert und nachgebogen ;-)
Müssten eigentlich ziemlich alle sein. Fehlen höchstens noch einige kleine Wege, vielleicht kann das ein Insider nachtragen. Ist aber heute noch nicht gerendert!

So i have loaded 5. ... but i think thats too many tracks. .. probably best to keep it at 3 and then a few hours later load another 3, as they get loaded. ..

I have created a folder on my computer which says which tracks have already been uploaded, as i am loading on tracks which were done 1 year ago.

If i was to look at a paper map, then i can see what the road names are. .. however, its probably best to just have it simple and marked as surface type, as thats what i remember for sure. I also remember where the turns were and how the roads went. .. This way someone can come along later and mark them, as a better base is built.
Fortunatly the major highways have all all been covered, so it now on to refining them.

Got some track around Giant Saujana Prima, Kajang while on my way to Semenyih this aternoon. There used to be only rubber trees in this area about 8 years ago, now fully replaced with a small township. Definitely will revisit this area again to collect more tracks and road names. Pasar Malam Jenaris held nearby on Sundays is quite a good source for cheap fresh produce, good enough a reason to travel all the way here to collect tracks.

Northwest Baltimore MD 21209
Willwood and Mica Courts are shown as extending from Quarry Heights Way to intersect Greenspring Avenue. Both roads dead-end before Greenspring Ave, as they are shown in the photography. I haven't figured out the map editor yet, so I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to make the corrections.

OK, as bro sabre23t insisted I might start putting something on my diary. Here's an issue that I'd like to highlight.

Part of my workflow to create routable map via mapcenter2 is to have the tiles loaded in JOSM for validation checking. Some nodes created by sabre23t in Potlatch are detected as 'duplicated nodes' by JOSM validating tools. When I clicked on the fix button and upload the changes, JOSM shows my name as the author of those ways. I don't want that as others, especially new users, might think that I'm so crazy for recognition to have my name on ways created by them.

I wish those ways maintained the original author's name, or maybe list out all the people who have edited that ways. Showing the last person that made some minor changes might give a different idea to some people. Or maybe JOSM should rename the label as 'Last Editor' instead 'Author'.

I'll wait and see if osmarender shows my name or sabre23t - osm.org/?lat=3.03693&lon=101.43229&zoom=17&layers=0B0FTF
