About 18 months ago, I drove around parts of the central Birmingham with my GPS unit recording some logs. I imported them into JOSM, but was overwhemled with the fiddliness and complexity of the app, and while I didn't want to be handheld through all the steps (I did follow the wiki and other instructions best I could) I didn't feel that I could accurately upload the data I'd recorded without either corrupting or overwriting existing good data. I'm still willing to upload the data, in fact I still record tracks occasionally while I'm driving and I'd very much like to upload them (for example, I also have some (sadly not quite complete) logs from last year's journey all the way to the French Alps for my holidays, a total of almost a thousand miles I think, where the GPS software worked and the app didn't mess up or crash!) I just don't have the time or knowledge of JOSM (or other submission apps) to competently and confidently upload all this data, so I'm looking for people to either help or take some of the logs and see what they can do with them. There's some obvious errors with some of the Brum stuff - I got caught in a traffic jam at one point so I got that funny zig-zag line (which the sirfstar3 chipset is known for, I believe) when I was travelling too slowly for it to accurately pinpoint where I was going exactly - I'm somewhat sure I can fix that because I also know the aerial view of the roads quite well (and it's not rocket science to trace the line using the aerial map overlay), but again, I need help. Can't believe I've held off from sending this message in for such a long time! I'm also willing to just upload the tracks and let people have a crack at them, but equally if someone wants to periodically help me then I'd be quite happy to accept any help offered. (I'm a pretty competent PC user, having used, owned, built, maintained and repaired the things for over a decade, and I consider myself to be a fully-immersed ubergeek - I'm just totally inept when it comes to JOSM, the thing scares me! ;) Cheers guys, Christopher
