Well as we are on the subject of people being mentors. I have just done my first bit of mapping today. After I finished work I went to KFC for dinner (can't be bothered to cook) then all of a sudden I felt like doing some driving around. So I went around the trading estate and as it is a weekend its easy to drive about with out looking too suspicious. I have just got home and uploaded my gps log and I have added a few ways, added a few businesses. Could someone have a quick look and tell me if I am half way there.
I did not get road names etc as I was driving. But I can do that another day. Most of my edits are here, The gps track around the supermarket is the track around the car park. Could someone with much more skill and knowledge add the roundabout in. I have put a tag there to show where I mean. So far my only other attempt at a roundabout is a bit crap.[1][2] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.21986&lon=-2.32784&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF I also added a road here, I work at the petrol station so took a drive through the village the other night. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.20263&lon=-2.37866&zoom=17&layers=B000FTF If all goes well then I will move on to add some of the roads in my own village, http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.22318&lon=-2.52884&zoom=17&layers=B000FTF I can draw in proper drawing applications such as Illastrator but I have tools that allow me to draw a circle then add the lines for road in. It will take a wile for me to get used to Potlatch 1.1 Anyone here use the Android G1 for gps tracking? Is there a good way to hold it if you are walking? (I want to get the best reception possible).
