Hi Stuart, thank you for sharing this as I am especially interested in all scenery which uses OSM data.
Last year I bought a cheap handheld GPS device and collected some local data for OSM and uploaded them - but what a rapid development here around Bremen until now, very very busy people improving the data every day. Even forrests and rivers are represented in a very nice way in the local dataset. That is why I hope that in some years - regarding the poor man-power, only 2 developers - we can use OSM data at good data-represented areas.

Georg EDDW (Beside this, simflying this scenery is a real joy as the landscape is fascinating, especially the contrast between sea and mountaineous areas. I hope you'll spend some more nice models for this area, the scenery deserves it :-) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
