Every now and again I add to Melbourne using the yahoo imagery, but for me the greatest use has been to map mountain bike trails and bush walks. What I love is that I can add them to OSM and then upload the garmin map version of the things that I've added back to the gps. So next time I'm back out that way there it all is ready to use on the gps, and I hope that it will help others as well when they head out back country. For me it certainly is my favourite part of osm. Now you've inspired me to send some links to the bits I've contributed to the map over the last year.

Tomtom and Garmin are relatively cheap in some ways, but they're not Free. I can't use either of them the way I want and there's essentially no possibility of that ever changing. The value of OSM for me is the O. Even if OSM never quite matches the big players for plain old street mapping and routing, which is their primary market and my primary use case, I'll still prefer OSM. > but tracks like this are what makes this a useful project. > ie unusual POI's or tracks not captured by commercial maps. And I can see that people who aren't computer nerds like me and can't just write their own software see the greatest value in the obscure, the niche, the data that for a commercial venture is too difficult and too low return to chase down. What I like best is that OSM can be both of these things without compromising on either. -- Sam Couter | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP fingerprint: A46B 9BB5 3148 7BEA 1F05 5BD5 8530 03AE DE89 C75C ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Mapping bushwalks
Personally I think its these sort of mapping which are going to the most useful in OSM, ie as street mapping via Tomtom and Garmin is cheap as.. but tracks like this are what makes this a useful project. ie unusual POI's or tracks not captured by commercial maps.

This example of the use of OSM may be of interest to a few people. I've been mapping bushwalks and fire trails in the gorge country around where I live: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-30.7427&lon=152.016&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF It comes alive, though, if you add the Cycling Map layer: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-30.7427&lon=152.016&zoom=14&layers=00B0FFF Gordon -- Gordon Smith http://las.new-england.net.au/ ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
