About me

I’m a casual mapper, mapping usually a few times per week since 2009. I’m from Czechia, currently living in Germany in the Bodensee (region).

I’m an IT guy, but I prefer mapping in person. Going to the nature and adding hiking and cycling trails and the related amenities. Time to time I also participate in HOT.

Projects

I create hiking and winter maps for Garmin for Europe and some countries on other continents.

Software and hardware used

Home Mapping

• JOSM with plugins

• StreetComplete: Casual map improvements
• Every Door: Adding amenities, micro mapping
• OSM Tracker: Gathering tracks and points for JOSM
• Vespucci: Editing when Every Door is not enough
• Mapy.cz: Good multi-purpose maps, based on OSM outside of Czechia. Updates only a few times a year.
• Simple OSM Viewer: The name describes it well, shows the default Mapnik styles from openstreetmap.org.
• OsmAnd: Lot of functionalities, I don’t use it much anymore.
