I've found that my entire home neighborhood is about 1/4 mile from where it should be, but I can't figure out how to move the neighborhood to its proper location. I can do it street-by-street, but I'm finding the intersection markers tend to move each time a connecting street is moved, throwing all of them way off. I'd like to select multiple streets and adjust as appropriate, but there doesn't appear to be a way to do this. Ummmm... help!?

I like the namefinder, when looking for Carshalton Road, in Carshalton (one of several), it picked up several other Carshalton Roads elsewhere.
- Carshalton Road, Camberley, Surrey - In an area whose roads are named after towns in this area of South London
- Carshalton Road, Swindon - Area using London places as road names
- Kingstanding, Sutton Coldfield - Again, using London placenames
- Carshalton Street, Croydon Park, Sydney, Australia - The link to Croydon is fairly interesting, ex-pats?
I tried out my Magellan eXplorist 210 at home and at my climbing hollidays in the Franken Jura. If i had known that there are so many empty spots left in that areea i would have turned on my toy more often.
Keen readers will know my battle against the Yahoo mis-georegistration in the western suburbs of Brisbane. Now I'm doing something about it.
Potlatch isn't up to do a man's job, so I've dusted off JOSM.
First suburb off the ranks is the Seventeen Mile Rocks area. So, if you're a Brisbanite and editing in that area, please line up the imagery to the existing street network rather than the other way around. In Potlatch you can drag the imagery around whilst holding the spacebar.
Much of my daily route to work is on the Capital Ring betweeen Richmond and Osterley, so today, inspired by the rendering example that Andy Allan put on his blog, I joined up most of the sections between Richmond and Osterley. It's a bit of a dilemma whether to split a way, when a route joins it halfway along. Mostly, I did split them, except where the route joins close to the end of one of the ways.

Diese Tage meine GPS Daten hochgeladen und Kirchberg an der Murr kartographiert.
Da war bis jetzt keine einzige Straße eingezweichnet.
Ein paar Straßen fehlen noch, von denen habe ich keine GPS Daten.
Kampf den weißen Flecken! ;-)
Trotz instabiler Technik - Bluetooth-GPS auf die Mütze geklebt und GPS-Tracking-Freeware auf dem SE P990i - ist das Wegenetz am Schlachtensee und im Studentendorf zu 95% fertig.
Wenn mir jetzt noch jemand verrät, wie man selbst angefertigte Bilder als Overlay in einen der Editoren bekommt, kann ich auch noch alle Gebäudegrundrisse eintragen...
I have noticed that a few places on the Eastside of Brisbane need work, particularly because these areas are new or they are covered by clouds in the Yahoo imagery. Since Potlatch is useless in this scenario, and I do not have a GPS unit, the following is a list of the places that to my knowledge need to be mapped:
Carina East - a new residential estate off Creek Road next to the Bus Depot.
Cannon Hill - Cannon Hill Shopping Plaza cnr. Creek and Wynnum Road, and a few streets to the west of the Plaza. Also, a new residential estate north of the Cannon Hill train station is partially mapped, so it needs attention.
Carina Heights - streets opposite Westfield Carindale need mapping.
Carindale - streets south of Westfield Carindale need mapping.
I have also noticed that the Minnippi Parklands that I added in Potlatch have failed to change in the weekly OSM update twice, so perhaps there is a bug with the way and it needs redoing.
After reading about another user working in the Pincher Creek, AB map i remember that i was there. .. so i posted my tracks of 2 days, 1 day cycling, the other a rest day, with cycling around town.
.. Im a newbie at this stuff, hopefully i didnt mess up the map :)
Large parts of the road (length: 514 kilometers) from Addis to Bahir Dar I uploaded, were not correctly tagged. I changed it all to highway=primary
I am a novice. The Garmen tracker is new, just a few days old.
The tracks are erratic. The altitude show large altitude differences although I am in flatland (+/- 10 meters.
When tracking I am sometimes up over 500 meters from the Garmen map.
For example. On Tuesday I was cycling northwards on the west bank of the Rhine river. Garmen map showed me to be on the East bank of the river heading north.
I admit I may be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what that could be.
I have sent an email to Garmen but have received no reply
Please advise

how I can use this utility in me web
and my own map
Yesterday I entered a few new roads, and today I see them on the maps. Both the maps rendered with Mapnik and the one rendered with Osmarenderer.
In the Osmarendered maps it is all fine, but in the mapnik I can see that the coastline is not adjusted and the result is roads in the water
Is this just a coinsidence that the computer doing the mapnik rendering actualy
fetched the data for this area just while I was half way though my editing (with Potlach) ?
Gibt es Mitstreiter in Hamburg?
Es gibt noch einige Luecken zu fuellen. Satelitenbilder sind ja da. Wer kennt sich aus? Gibt es eine Funktion anzuzeigen, was seit dem Vortag neu hinzugekommen ist ?

I am still waiting for my GPS (Garmin eTrex Legend HCx). Hopefully I will have it for the weekend :-)
Hi zusammen,
ich habe bisher keine Möglichkeit gefunden, ein Stück Strasse auszuschneiden/entfernen.
Hintergrund: Ein Bahnübergang wurde durch eine Unterführung weiter südlich ersetzt. Der alte Bahnübergang wurde komplett geschlossen.
Gibt es keine Möglichkeit, hier links und rechts der Bahnstrecke einen Endpunkt zu setzen, und das Straßenstück dazwischen zu entfernen?
Viele Grüße
Joe
Finally,
some streets of my home town are up now, and I hope for the first version of the main map containing my tracks.
I discovered some of the (few) existing tracks of Treuchtlingen to be unprecise and tried to update them carefully.
By now, some quarters are quite good, so "Patrich", the town center and the streets next to "Wettelsheimer Strasse".
Still missing nearly completely are "Winkel", "Neufriedenheim" and "Galgenbuck", not to speek of the many districts... so there's some work left! ;-)

Did a few edits around Brisbane, mostly parks and wooded areas. Did a few roads around Chandler that I missed.
I uploaded the below trace.
I cannot see it on the map unless i want to edit.
is this normal?
