I offer my traces, not my GPS

Dont be so paranoid about your GPS getting stolen, it is infinitely more likely that a random person will walk past your car and try their luck than some highly intelligent crook here looking up people's GPS traces to extrapolate where they live and setup a sting operation to get your beloved TomTom :-)

Das grenzt an Spam! 0 Edits, und dann so ein bezugsloser Post hier.

Peckham Mapping Party

Both Cadcorp and Manifold ("professional" GIS packages) allow the usage of Mapnik tiles. I have written also a import script for OSM data to Manifold. So there is recognition of OSM in the professional GIS world!

My Edits for May 17 - 19, 2009

Potlatch doesnt need a save button. All edits are committed to the database as soon as you deselect an added/edited node/way. And C does bring up the Changeset Comments, so thats where you can put your edit comments.

Some comments on signal quality:

Well accuracy depends on multiple factors, including the satellite configuration for a given location and time (this can vary considerably and affect signal quality!).Trimble offers a free software tool that can tell you for your Area of Interest what the best times of the day are for doing surveys!

Have a look here for the download: http://www.trimble.com/planningsoftware.shtml

Also, the receiver needs the best (most complete and unobstructed) view of the sky possible to acquire multiple satellite fixes.
In the case of a GPS mounted on your handlebar, your body would obscure a significant part of the sky. If you can, a external antenna mounted into your cycling helmet would provide the optimum sky coverage. http://www.trimble.com/mgis_patch_antenna.shtml
