That is exactly why i stopped uploading tracks a long time
ago.
If any query rises about the authenticity of any track
I have drawn, the history will show where any justification can be
found.
Then, I will or will not hand over any of my GPS tracks.

Hi,
Thanks for the tips pointing to Viking! I am just starting to get to grips
with the way it works, but it's definitely usefull. And probably for other
things I still have to discover as of yet.
I am still curious to know why these time stamps are necessary. It seems an

Greetings,
The argument that we map street center lines and add width= or
est_width= tags to give them an area is persuasive. Probably because
that's what I already believed. ;-) We can also estimate width by
using the highway= or lanes= tags.

Hi,
I tried to upload a couple of gpx tracks that I had cleaned up with Josm. They
were refused with a message that seems to suggest thy are missing time stamps
(possibly missing altitude).
Why does openstreetmap want timestamps? There is no reason for this.

I want to make a set of tiles for mobile devices. Its easier for a

where to start? Do I need to change the projectio
