I just uploaded my recent trip from Zagreb to Našice(Nasice) in Croatia. So, if you think you can help mapping these points - feel free to do it. Just go to my traces and edit. I don't think I'll have spare time to map all of my traces, so help me in mapping Croatia!

Did a lot of initial naming in the West of Strasshof

did the remaining naming in the north of Deutsch-Wagram

did a lot of naming around Groß-Enzersdorf, Eßling and Aspern

Visiting parents in Leicester for Easter. Weather is quite bad, so no cycle mapping (yet). On Thursday, we got the new alignment of Oxford Street around the Newark Magazine Gateway - the day it opened!

Today we drove around the villages of south-east Leicestershire, around Burton Overy and The Langtons, picking up various country roads. This area was pretty bare before.

I'm very glad to have seen other people being active in the Leicester area recently. Countesthorpe, Markfield, Wigston and Braunstone all seem to have had significant stuff added to them. Yay.

When I look at our map here in Germany, I see at lot of astonishing spots where a lot of detail is available. On the other hand, there are still many white spots.

So I tried to estimate how many contributing members our project needs in Germany to get a good 100% coverage in the foreseeable future.
Germany has a size of 357021 km^2 and about 82 million inhabitants (from baby to old people).
Now let's assume that somebody can map 20 km^2 i.e. an area of 4 by 5 km without dedicating all his spare time and the rest of his life to mapping. ;-) It may be less in big cities and more in rural areas with only small villages, so I think this evens out. (4 by 5 km sounds reasonable to me. I'm involved in a larger area, more like 8 by 10 km, but didn't and don't have to do everything there myself, luckily.)
This means we need about 18000 people mapping for OSM in Germany or 0,02% of the total population.
The OSM statistics for today say there are currently 28613 users in total.
I don't know, doesn't sound like too many people are needed, but can we reach enough who are both motivated to take the work of mapping AND can handle the technology, i.e. using some GPS capturing device, uploading to the PC, using the editors?
What do you think?

In order to cover the magnificent area around Portofino and his National Park I've started to map some roads and footway.
If you're in italy on april 13th and you like visit this enchanting park with astonishing viewpoint on the sea, please contact me or sent an e-mail to the italian OSM mailing list

To take a look on the park, this is the official site:

In vista del mapping party del 13 aprile al Monte di Portofino ho iniziato a mappare l'area circostante, in particolare Camogli e Santa Margherita Ligure, i punti di partenza per la visita del magnifico parco. L'estensione dei sentieri al suo interno raggiunge i 70km dai quali è possibile cogliere panorami mozzafiato in mezzo ad una flora rigogliosa e caratterizzata principalmente da macchia mediterranea e alberi plurisecolari.
Per chi fosse in zona e volesse partecipare al Mapping Party, il raduno è alle ore 9 nella piazzetta di San Rocco di Camogli ( 44,33668° N, 9,15810° E) pregandovi d'avvisare per poter organizzare al meglio in base ai partecipanti.

Questo è il sito ufficiale del parco:

Did initial naming, a lot of work in the north of Deutsch-Wagram remains,
Lots of GPS data required, many map errors detected

did a lot of naming around Kagran

Rode some mopre of the South Coast Cycle Route from Middleton to Aldwick. Either the peopel who put the signs up were deranged, or the local Bognor Chavs have been rearranging them creatively, so I'm not 100% I have the right route. On top of that confusion, I got soaking wet on the way back and had to stop off and ask a friend for a lift (yeah, I know, wimp).

Ribbesbüttel ist straßenmäßig komplett; die Feldwege drumherum sind noch nicht komplett - da fehlt einfach schöneres Wetter.

I just signed up for openstreetmap! Now I just have to figure out how to use this dang thing. Oh, how I wish the map of San Francisco didn't look so crappy.

I've opened a new blog specifically for Potlatch tips, tricks, news and development insights (ha).

Find it at potlatchosm.wordpress.com.

Mit einem ausgeliehen GPS (Garmin foretrex 101) bin ich zu Fuss und mit dem Velo meiner in meiner Umgebung unterwegs und sammle Daten. Falls jemand Tipps und Hinweise zu meiner Arbeit hat, sind die immer gerne willkommen.

I've been working as a web developer in Shrewsbury for 2 weeks now. Just a couple of hours ago I agreed to the terms of a flatshare. So within the next week or two I'll be moving in to the Monkmoor area.

Currently I appear to be the only OSMer anywhere near Shrewsbury, something I hope to change.

If anyone wants to come up for any mapping, do let me know. I can't offer anywhere to stay but will be happy to meet up and provide any assistance required.

Finally I could trace Eltze and put it into openstreetmap.

Ich habe schon ne genze menge hier in Bremen gemacht. :)
Erst meine Gegend in Oslebshausen, dann die Industriehäfen,
das Gebiet Riedemannstr., Reiherstr., und den Freihafen als Industriegebiet markiert und dort überall die Straßen und den Großmarkt eingetragen.
Das gebiet der Stahlwerke und die Wiesen zwischen Lesum und Weser markiert,
und die Straße entlang der Lesum und den Ökopfad eingetragen.
Ebenso die Kleingärtengebiete zwischen A27 und dem Maschienenfleet,
in Walle und hinten in Wartum markiert.
Den Neustädter Hafen und das GVZ markiert, dort alle Straßen eingezeichnet,
die Schuppen im Neustädter Hafen eingezeichnet und benannt.
Und nun auch noch vom Waller Friedhof bis zum Diako einen Großteil der Gröpelinger
Straßen eingetragen.
Zwischen durch mal hier und mal dort rumgewurschtelt.

Ein Paar sachen habe ich mit meinen GPS Tracks gemacht.
Das meiste habe ich allerdings mit dem Yahoo Satellitenoverlay in Potlach gemacht.
Ich kenne mich in Bremen ja auch ganz gut aus.
Sicherlich sind nicht alle Straßen auf Einbahnstrassen etc. gecheckt.
(vorallem in Gröpelingen zwischen Halmer Weg und Schwarzer Weg und entlang der Sewenjestr.)
und die eine oder andere Straße habe ich zwischendrin vergessen oder erstmal nicht beachtet.
Aber es ist schon ein ganzer Haufen Arbeit gewesen.

Aber das wichtigste es macht immernoch Spaß! ;)

I'm going to Hemsedal this saturday to ski and party. The map looks a bit empty so I plan to map at least the pistes and lifts and if I have time, some roads.
(Any other fi mapper going there with Hupellus ?)
