Well tomorrow I am off on holiday, first part of my Holiday is to St. Neots in Cambridgeshire where I hope to lay down some GPS tracks of the town. Second part of the trip is going to Cadwell Park Race track near Louth, Lincolnshire. Again I will lay down as many tacks as I can. I am no good and getting street names, a quick look at Louth on the OSM and it could do with some mapping being done in that area. >From memory I know they have put in a bypass and moved a few roads so it one of the places that deserves to be on the list of towns that need a proper mapping session.
The race track is nicely drawn in but not much else is there. No entrance to the track or anything. So I will remedy that. Might even start to map the facilities on the track. I am not too good at mapping stuff yet, still trying to get my head around JOSM and Potlach in my own local area. But I will try to do what I can. The reason for this post is there anyone local to Louth, that could do the edits if I give them the GPS tracks to reference? and St Neots, are there any locals that can tell me the area they want GPSed as a priority? On a side note I went out on the motorbike yesterday and covered some of my local town Shepton Mallet, Somerset. It was fun riding around the town getting funny looks from people as I went up and down and around the housing estates. I need to get a hi-vis vest and put "Surveying on the behalf of Open Street Maps" I was starting to get worried the police would soon be looking for me because I looked like I was casing the local area ready to rob it or suchlike. There is still a fair bit I need to get tracks for, and to draw in, but now I have a motorbike on the road I will be out more often.
