Hi guys You will see straight away that I am new to this "forum". I would like to be able to call on assistance here every now and then and possibly to put in my 2 bob's worth every now and then. I also subscribe to the newbies talk but think, now, that I would prefer to talk with people who are playing in the same geography.
I have recently breached etiquette and have realised (belatedly I'm afraid) that before I "do" perhaps I should ask first! I really only want to use OSM for two reasons - firstly to drop down maps (but have to do this through the Garmin site or OSMAust for technical reasons) which are quite good. And secondly, to put up the places where I've been (that others may not have been.) I have two immediate questions (actually I have a lot but these have been preying on my mind as a result of my breach). When you go to an attraction, be it an outdoor winery/farm tour or say, fun park or caravan park, are the tracks worthwhile to trace into OSM? Secondly, and unrelated to the first question . if tracks you place end up being radically different to the established map should you just stop at the track and not trace so others can see your green/blue track or should you put in a potentially conflicting trace? I am (slowly) gaining knowledge in some of the less obvious screens to see who placed what trace where but, for the same technical reasons as above I can not "view" maps on OSM so this has not been easy.
