I formally invite you to come to Sweden, which I find a pretty interesting place. There are really nice views here, if enough European OSM:er spend their vacation here we could probably map Sweden in 5 years? A great place to start i Härjedalen beautiful mountains and lots of mapping to do, even in areas where there are no people within 3 hours of travel. So the interesting thing about these places (for most people) is that there are few very ppl. You can put those "blank spots" in Austria/Germany in perspective, and get to map some really low density places; e.g. try to figure out the name of a thousand lakes, mountains or the footpath you are on, it's not like there are signs. :-) Härjedalen with a few blank spots: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=62.546&mlon=12.542&zoom=9 Even Stockholm has quite a few of those blankspots. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=59.32&lon=18.07&zoom=9 So Dirk and Cartinus when are you coming over to map Sweden? /Erik who has spent lots of time in blank spots. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
