Wow, that's dedication :)
Nice work on it too, but most wind farms I've seen were on private property,

Perhaps I should clarify a few points, this could be seen in the same light as
any local sports or scouting club, the club focuses on the main activity and
the legal entity is a means to an end, or in their cases a way to get public

The best way to approach this would be to try explaining it to someone not
familiar with OSM and see if they come to the same conclusion.

Just to let everyone know what's happening, the guy I work for has become
interested in both helping the community and to get into selling mapping
services. He also has numerous business connections.
There has already been some unofficial talks with a company that makes phone
handsets with GPS
Yeah, completely understand your stance on it mate. In the end I'd probably
keep using Google anyway because most of my route planning is on unmapped
roads. If they're mapped chances are they're too busy for a cyclist or I've
already been there :p.
Just throwing ideas around as usual.

Under the search box seems like a logical place, even if the Events section
needs to be moved down. Would it be hard to have the search results come up
then once a route is calculated have the results disappear and have the
distance/directions shown there?

route distance is known, displaying it in a "nice" way is another matter, are
you or anyone else able to do a mock up design on how you think this could be
displayed?
Also the rout
Very nice :).
Is it hard to calculate a route distance and display that?

highways are in contrast to byways
where the highway is the main road
but discussing the etymology isn't going to help OSM

Umm, not the case at all. Highway= comes from the old english use,
where highway means "way/path/track you use to get somewhere". These
days we assume roads and cars, but that's not the way it was
originally designed.

No, highway=path does not imply bicycle=no (please see the wiki page).

Hi.
In NSW a "shared path" means foot=yes, bicycle=yes. The default in NSW for
highway=footway (or highway=path) is bicycle=no (same as the OSM
conventions).

I received notification that a couple more of my patches have been included in
JOSM/validator plugin.
No idea when there will be a new tested/stable version, but it seems there is a
new latest version on the JOSM site.

Pretty much what I do, when I have multiple GPS' logging. They don't always

I can cheat with town names, Australia has just under 10,000 localities,

Due to a recent carputer project, I know map with two gpses. Looking at the
traces in josm
they are slightly offset from each other (more than the couple of
centimeters that separates
there antennas).
My inclination is to upload both sets of tracks and use the average of the
two as the position

I hacked in the routing code from http://yournavigation.org/ into the website.
This is a php layer between the web interface and gosmore routing engine.
At this stage you can only get it to work by doing a place search a start link
