He actualizado el wiki de Colombia con informacion general del proyecyto, tambien esta disponible la lista de correo de Talk-co

In English below

Tenía pendientes de procesar las salidas de la autopista A6 en dirección Coruña y al llegar a la zona de Medina he visto que la mayoría de carreteras de esa zona, y que conozco bien, no están trazadas y ni siquiera disponen de trazas gpx. Afortunadamente con el Landstat y gracias a que la zona de Campos es bien plana ha sido fácil añadir algunas.
La sorpresa ha sido al llegar a Valladolid ya que la cobertura de Yahoo ha mejorado llegando incluso a los 200m así que estoy aprovechando para trazar bastantes cosas de allí.

I had a lot of tracks to process, including the highway junctions in the A6 towards Coruña, but when i have arrived to the Medina zone i have discovered that the main roads in that zone are no traced and even they have no gpx traces. Fortunately, the Landstat and the plain orography in Campos zone have made easy to add some of them.
The surprise arrived near Valladolid, the Yahoo resolution is real good, even 200m so im tracing a lot of things there because its well known for me.

As this is the first weekend for months when the weather has been decent and I haven't had other things today I took advantage of the sun to do a 25 mile run on the bike and pike up another slice of central Cheshunt yesterday.

All the data should be in now, completing Cheshunt to the east of the A10 down as far as College Road/Windmill Lane.

I Guess there's no delete/edit button... Sorry for the spam ;)

I got a bit carried away today - I had intended to map a short section of road in Pantlasau and then go up near Clydach to fill in some missing roads and names. But I ended up finding an interesting looking footpath and curiosity got the better of me; so I spent the afternoon investigating that path and some tracks leading off it.

In the end I found myself at the *enormous* 275KV Swansea North electricity substation. And it was pretty loud too - you can hear the 50Hz buzz from the transformers a good couple of kilometres away from it. On the way back home I discovered a rather useful footpath crossing some fields to the North of the housing estate, so I can make use of that when I *actually* go up to Clydach to fix up these roads. :)

Nach nur ca. einer Woche ist der Groß-Umstädter Ortsteil Raibach mit allen Straßen in OSM eingepflegt. Darüber hinaus sind jetzt auch die Landesstraßen nach Klein-Umstadt bis Mömlingen (Dorndiel Hauptsraße) und bis nach Breuberg OT-Hainstadt eingepflegt.

... jetzt nur noch bis Mitwoch zum rendern warten und Raibach ist für alle verfügbar.

Wer hat Lust (evt. zusammen mir) die anderen Groß-Umstädter Ortsteile einzupflegen ?

J'ai enfin fini par écrire l'article sur OSM sur le site de adella.org. À l'origine je mappais un peu uniquement pour écrire cet article, puis je me suis pris au jeu. L'article est fait, et moi je suis encore là ;-).

Finally I wrote the small paper about OSM on adella.org site. I went here initialy to do it, but I do lot of map stuff before write it.

From next April the administrative county of Cheshire (UK) will be split in two. With the mapping I did yesterday in Winsford, one of the halves, Cheshire West and Chester, now has all its public roads mapped and named. Of course there will still be some omissions and mistakes but the systematic approach should keep these fairly few. There is still scope for more mapping detail, especially on areas done two years ago, but applications like Nestoria (http://openstreetmap.nestoria.co.uk/) could cover the area with confidence.

The area is mixed urban and rural with a population of 328,000 and an area of 917 km2. (This is about the same density as England as a whole. I'll try to get round to doing the statistics as described in osm.wiki/index.php/Completeness_Metrics)

Cheshire East is not quite so complete but is progressing fast, and there is plenty to do in neighbouring North Wales, Wirral and Runcorn.

Building outlines from aerial pics. (select the osmarender layer)

Still can't find a good PD sketch-map of what all the building names are. Anyone who works there want to help?

Purchased new GPS (Garmin eTrex Legend HCx) last Wednesday. The accuracy is quite good - usually about 5m after obtaining a good fix with WAAS on (it's off by default). Have been using it in conjunction with Yahoo photos to map parts of Toronto - it's much faster to use it plus a voice recorder than it was to use pencil and paper and it allows me to map areas that are difficult to make out on the sat photo. Haven't mapped any areas with no sat photos - yet - but undoubtably I will find some new subdivisions soon enough.

Last weekend I surveyed and mapped the dual carriageway section of the N4 just before Sligo, the Donegal bypass, some local roads around Glencolumbcille, much of the N56, some R roads around Errigal, R and local roads around Inishowen, and the road from Ballymena to Enniskillen via Cookstown and Omagh.

Since then I've added some detail of local roads around Westport, the R332 from Tuam to Kilmaine, the road from Belcarra via Ballyglass to Hollymount and on to the R332, some of the industrial area around Parkmore and Ballybrit in Galway, and the Monivea road as far as the N63. I also completed the N63 to where it meets the N17.

Today I've added some of the local roads between Balla and the N5, and (I think) all the housing estates in Balla.

Day out in Wallingford with the family, who are visiting Oxford this week. I've improved the map of the town's mediaeval centre a bit - hope I've got the one-way system right - and found some unmapped tracts of land on the way there and back.

- Previously unmapped restricted byway between Drayton St Leonard and Chiselhampton. highway=byway sounds quaint. Renders oddly in Osmarender.

- Two new villages: Newington and Warborough.

- Innumerable churches and pubs.

- Connected the River Thame using OAM and NPE data. Not sure about the direction of flow though.

Hmm - it's been quite a while since I last wrote a diary entry. Things have moved on. The city centre (of Swansea) is done as far as I can tell. I've updated more of the "metro" bus lanes as they appear. I've had reason to divert slightly around the Mayhill area of town and have *finally* mapped it, despite the city council's best efforts to block all the through-routes with barricades.

OSM beats all the other maps that I've compared with on correctness of street-connectivity in that area now. However, I'd appreciate efforts by people who live a bit closer to nail down more of the street names. There are a lot of missing name-signs on the streets of Mayhill.

So, I finishes work and starts cycling home. I actually didn't intend to do a lot of mapping, but I saw one of the cul-de-sacs roads I know has some sort of foot/cycleway at the other end. I was only interested in it today as a potential shortcut, so didn't map the maze.

So I eventually finds me way out and heads on towards home. Then some girl I can't remember ever meeting says "Hi, Tom." Seriously, no clue.

Anyhow, then I decides to follow the road to the Shrewsbury School boathouse and path beyond intending to cross the Kingsland Toll bridge and head across town. On reaching the path up to the bridge I changed my mind, intending to take the English Bridge to get across the river and follow the NCN81, my usual route.

Reached the end of the path, here's some roads. I follow said roads in Belle Vue area doing ~3 miles up and down hills and various paths.

Now back home to tag it all up. Apparently I took the route as described until I reached the boathouse, where I flew across the river, over Frankwell and the town centre several times before heading over the houses towards home.

I can't wait for my BGT-31 to arrive...

Today i started editing my livingstreet, imported my first GPSTrace and edited som data from that trace. For the job i used josm.

Here are some before and after shots of a few things that I have cleaned up recently:

Stockertown: Before - After | Deleted nonexistant roads, cleaned up railroad tracks.

Easton Area: Before - After | Connected new imported data to existing ways for cleaner appearance.

And, of course... I had to mix things up a bit by going out-of-area.

Garden State Parkway: Before - After | Self-exclamatory. The "before" picture is ridiculous.

Finally finished tracing over my GPX of the Rochdale Canal and adding all the locks and bridges - 50 of each - between Sowerby Bridge and Littleborough.

Ok, I'm used to see a difference from the Mapnik map to the Osmarender map, since my changes usually appear at first in Osmarender (the day after or so).
This week I see it the opposite way: my changes from last weekend near Triberg, Germany (osm.org/?lat=48.1289&lon=8.2464&zoom=13&layers=B0FT) are not visible in Osmarender, but they are visible by now in Mapnik through the weekly update. Strange...
Nobody seems to want to render this lost space ;-)

-lots of streets and POI's added ...clear the white area!

..take a look

Ir tas potlatch kazko nepadaro revert :(
Jau kelis sykius bandau, bet vis tiek reparevertina.
Kas galit/mokat - parevertinkit plyz.
Ir sorris labai uz tokia nesamone....
