I'm discovering some little laneways and twisty little passages of Armidale township that I've not explored before. The map is coming along nicely but I need a couple of larger chunks of time to map the northest and southwest corners of town where there are some still-to-be-mapped residential areas.

At some stage I need to map the creek that flows (sometimes) through town - the Landsat image isn't high resolution but I'll see if I can make do.

I am new to OpenStreetMap.

At one time I was with a local Volunteer Fire Department. In Texas there are a number of Tax supported operations that update maps for emergency services and 911 use. These maps are updated several times a year. I was able to get the local map and with TurboCad read the format and convert it to DFX. I then could print out updated map pages and put sub-divisions that were spread out over two or more pages in the 'map books' that we were provided on to one 11 x 17 page.

This information should be able to be obtained by OpenStreetMap, and would help as it is much more accurate the the US Census Bureau data. There are a number of these operations in the state. For the San Antonio, Bexar Count, TX and the adjacent counties it is:

Bexar Metro 9-1-1 Network District
911 Saddletree Court
San Antonio, TX 78231-1523

There is a complete list of the districts for Texas at:

Tuesday: started work on detailed mapping of Newmarket, Suffolk, dealing with the race course and the residential areas to the north and west. It'll take a while - population about 15,000 so about 15 hours of surveying of which I did about three this week, so maybe 5 visits should see it done. It's only 10 miles from home though, so a bit more accessible than the remaining bits of South Cambridgeshire out towards St Neots.

The racecourse and related paraphernalia involved quite a few tags I'd not needed to use before, but much of the rest of the town in this part is rather dull ex-council housing residential (there's also a large industrial area which I didn't really start on, straddling Exning Road).

Discovered the Newmarket end of NCN51, which leads from Exning all the way into Newmarket town centre, most of it entirely away from the road down a small stream valley, so that got me back to the station and got mapped into the bargain (someone had obviously tried before, but maybe got lost, as it tailed off in the middle of a housing estate).

Okay, discovered files which were good for Geotagging photographs are too long to OSM in terms of fair share of processing time.

Now cutting track logs down to below < 5000 points where possible.

Projects,

Highlands of Scotland - 10 years of GPS track logs, but only plan to upload tracks under 5 years old as well aware of new road layouts in certain areas of the highlands.

Derbyshire/Staffordshire Peak District, uploading extensive data covering white peak.

Lake district, less popular areas, uploading data covering western and northern areas.

Royal Deeside, minor roads.

Gądowianka links and some streets (Szwajcarska, Austriacka, Muchoborska, Traktatowa) created.

I have finally been out on my bike for the first time in a couple of months. I'm slightly concerned about the gears and the tyre pressure was slightly lower than I might've hoped. I'll check it again later when I can borrow the pump.

Anyway, I've completed all the roads off Bearwood Road, except one or two at the top end that were under construction when I was there last. Stanhope Road has me a little confused. I'll have to go out again sometime with the objective of checking where it actually goes.

Some roads in that area I managed to get while out on my driving lessons but am missing names for. It's probably worth going out there in future and surveying the whole area again properly.

Hi everyone,

I joined OSM about 6 months ago and I have been mapping around Canberra and the far south coast (Bega valley) since then. I initially started mapping using potlatch and since then moved to JOSM. The feature that prompted me to change to JOSM was the photomapping option which allows me to photograph a streetsign and located it on JOSM.

The combination of GPS, PDA and a digital camera while cycling around is a good combination which has allowed me to (nearly) complete the streetname coverage in the inner northern suburbs of Canberra over a number of lunchtime cycle rides. The maplint addition on the web page is very handy in highlighting the missing streetnames etc.

Now on to map Aranda next lunchtime.

Cheers,
Max

I have created railway from Wrocław to Łódź, and from Częstochowa to Wrocław, and corrected a bit Landstat born railway from Łódź to Warszawa, and from Koluszki to Częstochowa.

I have a whole bunch of tags I need to propose: amenity=crematorium, shops=parade (a hard one, since a parade normally runs along one side of a highway only), amenity=village_hall, amenity=ambulance_station, etc, but it just seems too much hassle to follow them through, push them for votes etc. So I'll leave myself a note here that I need to do something about these some time...

Soweit ich das überblicken kann, sind die Straßen in Wedel (bei Hamburg) nun vollständig.
Die Straßennamen fehlen noch, darum werde ich mich in den kommenden Wochen kümmern.
Außerdem habe ich begonnen die Gebäude nach zu zeichnen.

I have finished Oatley, Mortdale and Penshurst (well as much as I can from arial photos).

It looks like someone has turned coastline into river at some point, as there is now a block of water south of Connells Point that is rendering as land!

Named a few streets in the area of
Eggolsheim-Forchheim-Hausen.

Finally I got my hands on a nice bluetooth GPS receiver, the Bluenext BN909GR, nice little unit, works well with my Nokia 5200, and after a few minor difficulties i'm able to start mapping some of my hometown.

Потому нарисовали пару дорог, на форт Северный и около форт Шанц

With my GPS in for repair I'm filling in streets south of Hurstville in Sydney from Yahoo.

Well, to catch up on two months of mapping... safe to say I got the bit south of Mather Avenue completed, though it didn't happen until the Sunday of the mapping party. Oh yes, and we had the Liverpool Mapping Party. That went really well, we were lucky to have quite a few experienced mappers present so we got loads done around the centre of Liverpool, but also stretching into Toxteth and Aigburth, and up to Everton.

Over the weekend I decided to finish off some bits that Grant (Firefishy) marked up after the mapping party. He'd added some roads coming off Garmoyle road in Wavertree, but hadn't added road names to them. I completed all the roads that came off Garmoyle road (including ones he hadn't mapped). Also a few more roads in the area. I then went a little further South and picked up some more roads around Greenbank. Unfortunately I missed another set of roads that Grant had mapped but not put names on North of Sefton Park but they should be easy enough to get when I'm passing sometime.

So, I've been looking at the map of Liverpool numerous times over the past few days and I've really been wondering how long can be left before all of Liverpool south of Edge Lane is finished. Granted there's a big chunk that needs mapping between Edge Lane and Picton Road, basically the whole of Wavertree needs mapping, and even when that's done, there's bits of Aigburth, Dingle, and even a little bit of Allerton that need doing. I can't help but thinking though that this all really shouldn't take too long. Unfortunately with the terrible weather we've been having I haven't been getting out mapping very much myself, similarly I don't think my Dad has been going out much either so that's definitely going to hold things up, but I'm really hoping that it won't be too long before we can say "South Liverpool is mapped". No way I'll put a timeframe on it though as I'll almost certainly get it wrong :-p

Added over 100 km of rural roads north-east and north-west of Armidale.

Konnte zwei kleine Strassen in MUC entdecken, die noch nicht gemappt waren.

In Aschheim einige Fusswege, einige Wege verifiziert und einige letzte Strassen. Ich denke Aschheim ist nun komplett.

Jetzt werde ich versuchen die Gemeinde in ihren Verwaltungsgrenzen zu verifizieren.

Unbelievable: I live here now for nearly two years and I thought I had explored every corner reachable by bike. But cycling around with the OSM map and with the goal to really cover everything shows how many way I just ignored until now because I thought it was a dead end or not very nice to cycle. The motivation to look around every corner is really quite different when out there with the GPS and tracking.-)

Moin,
Ich habe mich dazu entschieden, gemäß den OpenSource Regeln
"Release Early, Release Often " den Import von OpenGeoDB in OpenStreetMap an zu werden.
Er wurde heute um 18:16 Uhr gestartet und war um ca. 21:53 Uhr beendet.

Leider ist der Import von Relationen zum Teil fehlgeschalgen. Grund dafür ist vermutlich ein Bug im Zusammenspiel zwischen Josm und dem Import-Bot (oder ein Bug bei Josm). Ich habe mich deshalb dafür entschieden alle noch nicht hochgeladen Relationen aus dem Import zu entfernen und später zu ergänzen.

Bitte schaut Euch die daraus neu entstanden Orte an. Ich hoffe es ist nichts kapput gegangen, ansonsten bitte möglichst schnell melden, damit ich sehen kann, wie wir es wieder gerade biegen....

Kommentare (ich hoffe das es im Großen und Ganzen gefällt) dazu könnt Ihr auf die Webseite:

osm.wiki/index.php/User:OpenGeoDB

abegegeben.

Ich plane später weitere Abgleiche zwischen OpenGeoDB und OpenStreetmap, dazu muss aber erst das
Skript angepasst werden.

Gruß
Sven

OpenGeoDB Import is done

Hi,
Today from 17:16 UTC to 20:53 UTC OpenGeoDB was imported to OpenStreetMap.

Please have a look at the newly created data. I hope you enjoy the work. If there is corrupted data, please reporte soon. I have made a backup and hope that I could fix it.

There was a problem with a upload of some relations, so the relation part is not complete until now. I will fix it soon (=in the next month).

More Information about the import and comments can be found/added to the wiki-page:

osm.wiki/index.php/User:OpenGeoDB

I want to make more synchronisation between OpenGeoDB and OSM later.

Best Regards
Sven Anders
