Thanks for sharing the link John. It's amazing to see a visual
representation of the work done in OSM. I use the ITO site to keep an eye
one areas I regularly map.
Can anyone spot any of their own edits?

It may also be worth telling any

There seems to be quite a few 4wd clubs though, one at Nambour, another at
Caloundra and another at Maleny, most only publish snail mail addresses.
I doubt we will be able to get round them all by snail mail in time for the
meeting, so for these groups

Bundaberg might be bit far, dunno. I was thinking about contacting the Kingaroy

Do we have something worded to send them yet? This is the latest draft I'm

Probably needs to include something 4wd specific about how they can map out

Just a minor note: The tracks in the Glenrock State Recreation Area are closed
to public vehicles so it's more accurate to mention that link in relation to
bushwalking and MTB riding than 4WD'ing. Oh, and they're more detailed than
accurate. It's a shame that the shortlink links are so cryptic.
I've been tweaking things on the mapserver I'm currently running.

State borders now show at an appropriate zoom level, and I've made it so a
picnic table icon shows, but the image I'm using atm needs changing so it looks
awful at present.

Hi,
As an FYI, in case anyone gets caught out like I did ;-(
I was mapping out near Macquarie Feilds today and came across quite a few

Excellent thanks - I'll be interested in the Aussie

It's too much of a hassle to do daily files, but I'm setting up scripts to run
after lunchtime on Sundays at present, the Aussie file is up, and the NZ one is
still
Thanks, weekly is very useful anyway.
I've just returned from a mapping trip, that used your navit map on my car
computer - it was
very useful for finding missed streets
cheers

I've tweaked a few more things, the state names show at the same zoom level as
the state capitals, although Queensland isn't showing, most likely because the
place node is too close to the coral sea islands place node.
