Hi Wouter, I will probably try to come for the meeting. Is it going to be like a mapping party? I can coach a group and I have two GPS units, so one can be for another group. I have no idea where those lend out GPS units are. There should be a list of them on the wiki, mentioning their whereabouts. Maybe people can be asked to bring their PDAs along, if they include a GPS. Something like NoniGpsPlot can be installed fairly quickly.
The convention I see for mapping buurt- and voetwegen is as follows: name=Voetweg xx or name=Buurtweg yy http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.88679&lon=4.58564&zoom=16&layers=M As they are found on their name tags. Unless they got a 'proper' name. I have been looking at those atlases of buurtwegen and around here many of those buurtwegen from around 1830 now have become actual streets.
