Hi all,
I've just gotten into OSM now with the discovery of nearmap - wow,
it's great. This obviously isn't a very high traffic list, but thought
I'd say hi anyway, from St Kilda, Melbourne.
Couple of quick questions:
1) Is there anywhere to see which suburbs of Melbourne are totally
unmapped,
And what about JOSM? So far I've just been using Potlatch because it
just works. What do I have to do to get Nearmap going in JOSM?
