And some streets.

Added a very picturesque road from Medias to Voila and Baile Rodbav (DJ141, DJ105, DJ106)

I think I've done almost all roads and tracks that are within cycling range of my home. Still bits and pieces left to do, but the main part is done. From now on I'll be taking my GPS with me when I go somewhere and even take a detour, but all will be roads I can go on with my car, no small tracks anymore for me I guess...

Added part of DN1 from the start of DN7C (Transfagarasan) to Sambata de Jos

I inspected some lakes from http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/data/gshhs/version1.5/shapefiles/gshhs_lake/ today but cannot recommend to use the data: not detailed enough.

Added DN24 Birlad - Vaslui - Iasi using GPS track logs, but it might need some tweaking in some parts.

Added the route from Galati ferry to Constanta through Dobrogea (the shortest route to get to the sea side from Galati)

Added the national road DN2B from Braila to Buzau. Used mostly the aerial view, so it might need some tweaking.

I started to add some blocks of flats around one neighborhood in Galati. Also I added some POI around the city.

This is a really great project and I really like the idea of free maps. So I give my best to map my hometown in the next few weeks even if my time is quite limited.

Received my GPS Unit from StorageDepot today, and am having to send the damn thing back as the thumb stick is knackered.

I was in New York last week. Street coverage is good where the TIGER data has been imported, although it is very light on POI data. I added a couple of points.

Bin gerade dabei meine alten GPX-Dateien aufzuarbeiten (Fahrt LD, LU)
um dann die neuen Strecken auszusuchen. Man muß ja nicht zweimal
die selbe Strecke tracken.

0.7 is now live (thanks Tom) and has just one big improvement: it now fills your browser window.

So please be nice to the server and don't go full-screen at 2048x1024 on zoom level 12 in London!

One of the good things about this is that the greater screen space should give room for more funky things in the future (e.g. some form of online help). Coping with the Yahoo API has, of course, proved interesting. I think it's mostly there (and I've removed the really really hackish way that Potlatch used to communicate with it), but let me know of any difficulties.

Hello,

Started seriously mapping the 13th arrondissement of Paris today, around my area. I'm going to check road names, traces, oneways, public buildings, amenities, etc, to compile a detailed and accurate map. Starting from the north-west corner of the 13th arrondissement, I'll progress to the south-eastern side.

Completing the arrondissement should take me at least up to the summer '08, maybe more for buildings, landuse.

S'il y a des gens sur le 13e n'hésitez pas à me contacter pour s'y mettre à plusieurs et éventuellement se rencontrer.

This story already happened on Tuesday but I'd still like to share it.

I'm working part-time at a place out of town, ca. 10km from home. After work I usually go mapping in that area and this time decided to map a village called Völkenrode. So I cycled a few kilometer further apart from home, started mapping the southern part of the village and moved farther north. Having reached one northern corner I saw a track leading to a railway-crossing in the distance (allready dark outside). So I went there, drove a few meters along the attached tracks and realised a bridge in the distance. So I went further to map that bridge. From that bridge I saw another railway and went off again.
Shortly behind that railway my saddle felt kind of strange beneath my ass. So I went of the bike, and within seconds held the loose saddle in my hand. The pipe attaching it to the frame was broken! There I was, about 20km from home, in the dark and cold, apart from any civilisation (let alone a bikeshop) and unfinished mapping.
So I had to finish mapping and drive all the way back home standing. Man, that sucked!

(You can see the track very well on the map)

Obviously it took me a whole week to get my computer up and running again. Luckily the disk did not just stop working, but started to work flaky. This morning I finished the reinstallation on a new disk and went out for a cycle ride in the afternoon.

On top of that my mp3 player/recorder crashed too. But this one was not recoverable. (Don't try DreckStore, broke after less than a year.) So no audio mapping in the near future.

I went to Unterbach, but mainly mapped the paths to get there. In Unterbach I watched their Karnevalszug before riding back to Gerresheim, where I traced about 10 more resendential streets between Quadenhof- and Heyestraße.

Heute hab ich zum zweiten mal das Bewegungsmittel "Fuß" gewählt.
Normalerweise benutze ich das Rad oder das Auto (wenn ich sowieso unterwegs bin).
Ich hab zumindest das Gefühl, das tracking gelingt zu Fuß viel genauer, als wenn man so schnell unterwegs ist ;)

Morgen geht es wieder nach Mössingen, dort ist auch noch vieles zu tun....

Nice afternoon so out for couple of hours exercise on the bike mapping around south Cheshunt. Surveyed a new roundabout on Lt Ellis Way that I didn't even know about. Will add to map untagged, with note to FIX as soon as it is open.
Also can add a new dimension to the bridge/viaduct saga. On way back followed the towpath of the canalised River Lea as it crosses the M25. This is just to west of the A10 junction. It crosses the motorway in an aqueduct but to all intents and purposes is a tunnel at the same time. It disappears "underground" and is covered over in such a way that the towpath is actually on top of the canal itself for a short while. Not sure how I will tag it - probably as canal + bridge, with a note to say that it is "undergound".

Anna and I took a stab at mapping "Chippy" today, which was pretty much terra incognita away from the main roads. It's looking a lot better already, and perhaps more importantly, it helps to expand the "complete coverage" belt centred around Oxford - Woodstock, Charlbury etc. are all finished, and Witney appears to be coming on in leaps and bounds.
