le centre historique de Bordeaux est loin d'être fini mais les rues (enfin... 95% des rues du centre) ont été tracées (merci Yahoo)

Reste à s'équiper et à parcourir en rollers toutes les petites rues (sauf celles ou il y a des pavés) de bordeaux à la recherche des ch'tites plaques bleues

Nachdem ich nun schon mehrmals Abens bzw. Nachts im Dunkeln
allein mit meinem GPS Gerät durch den Knoops Park in St. Magnus gestiefelt bin,
habe ich das tolle Wetter dazu genutzt um die letzen Winkel und Ecken zu erfassen.
Im Nord und West Teil hat mir ja schon jemand die Arbeit abgenommen,
aber der Südwestliche Teil ab der Brücke bzw. dem Steinberg habe ich mir vorgenommen.
Dabei ist es garnicht so einfach wie man denkt einen so verwinkelten Park
mit all seinen kleinen verzweigten Wegen, Treppen und Steigen zu erfassen.
Vorallem weil man trotz bestem GPS Empfang bei mehrmaligem begehen eines Weges
mindestens zwei verschiedene Tracks bekommt, die mehrere Meter auseinander liegen.
Dennoch glaube ich die Wege nun halbwegs gut erfasst zu haben,
aber ich glaube das werde ich in einer Woche mit der OSM Karte auf meinem Garmin
nocheinmal überprüfen.

Auf meinem 17 Kilometerrundgang kam ich bis in den Stadtgarten in Vegesack,
den ich gleich mal mit den wichtigsten Wegen und Treppen mit eingetragen habe.
Und auch auf dem Weg dorthin hat noch die ein oder andere Erweiterung ihren Weg
in die OSM gefunden.
Ich denke nun mache ich mal wieder ein paar Tage Pause. ;)

In Firefox, create a bookmark with this location:

javascript:var%C2%A0s='%s'; url='http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Tiles/info.php?x=%s&y=%s&z=%s'; t=''; qc=0; chunks=url.split('%s'); for(i=0; i');

and set the bookmark keyword to something like "tah". You can then go the location bar and enter "tah" followed by the x coordinate, y coordinate and zoom level of the Osmarender tile you're interested in. For example:

tah 1976 1327 12
sends you to

I've now mapped almost all the roads in the patch I have been working on, having done a stack more roads around the Ynstawe area. My Sunday afternoon stroll around the estate became unexpectedly long when I discovered the very pleasant footpath along the Clydach river and followed it all the way up to the Cwm Clydach nature reserve.

There are still quite a few little footpaths to do, but I probably won't do those at the moment - I think mapping the roads is a more productive use of time for now. However, I must walk along the Swansea Canal tow path at some point and map it. I've noticed that Google Maps gets it *completely* wrong, showing the canal joining the Clydach river - in reality the canal crosses the river as an aquaduct and continues a for few hundred metres South, whilst the river joins the Tawe just on the South-East side of the aquaduct.

I haven't quite worked out the best way to tag aquaducts though - setting waterway=aquaduct seems a bit silly since it doesn't let you specify the sort of waterway being carried (i.e. canal), so for now I have settled on bridge=yes instead.

Na de werkzaamheden tijdens de afsluiting afgelopen week loopt de Maarssenseweg (viaduct bij Maarssen over de A2 heen, in de buurt van afrit 6) nu over het nieuwe viaduct. Het nieuwe tracé naar dit viaduct toe vanaf Vleuten/Haarzuilen heb ik vanochtend gereden op weg naar mijn werk en staat nu in OSM.

Originally the A811 was in OSM as highway primary. I noticed that some signs on it were green, so I changed it to trunk. SpeedEvil confirmed its primary route status.

Today, I noticed a part of it was back as primary, so I sent a message to the last editor. I hadn't noticed the note tag expaining Transport Scotland no longer consider it as a primary route. Sorry about that.

Just got back from a week on the Rochdale Canal between Sowerby Bridge and Littleborough. Kept a GPS trace the whole way so I've been able to fill in missing sections. However, I also waymarked every bridge and lock that I went through and noted all the names and numbers, but these waypoints are not showing up in Potlach when I edit the GPX. Any ideas why? I though it might have been a lack of timestamps but I tried again to upload the GPX, having edited in timestamps for all the waypoints and it still isn't showing them. I'm sure I've got this to work before!

Nice weather today to continue mapping north of Karlsruhe - parts of Stutensee are still waiting to get completely mapped. So i started with the western part of Friedrichstal; this suburb should be almost complete now regarding the streets, POIs still need some work. Link to Track:
