Those aren't a problem because you are collecting the data.

Agreed about GPS behaviour,
and do not take for grant your 3m accuracy. I got 3m accuracy measurement on
my GPSmap 60CSX but a much larger differences looking at my traces, with the
same device, the same track, same day, but under different meteorological

No. Absolutely not. The Ottawa license is derived from the broken

A really simple answer that gets lost is this:
Did you make the edits to the best of your ability, and your edits add value to
the OSM project?
If so, then it was the right thing to do.

I have a Garmin Etrex HCX. I had the opportunity to compare my results while

Tom,
Differences in GPS results has less to do with the GPS brand and more
to do with how the GPS is used, the type of antenna, the satellite geometry,
WAAS reception, etc. If you placed your consumer grade GPS receiver in the

As a geocacher, I'm unhappily aware that different brands of GPS give
different results, with differences in the order of 10 meters for an
individual point. I suppose a track should be better, since there is an
internal consistency check, though not if the difference is due to
systemic causes.

As part of the improvements I've been adding to our local neighbourhood,
I added a missing strip mall. This is at the intersection of Kilborn and
Virginia in Ottawa. I suppose I could provide coordinates if needed.

Hi Tom:
welcome to OSM and congratulations on your first edits! Yes, it sounds
like you did the right thing. One thing to look out for: Bing images
are not always aligned 100% -- they can be offset by several meters.
Usually this is not a problem but if there are any GPS traces

I've just performed my first edits, in our neighbourhood. One thing I

part of what you are talking about when you mention internal CanVec
