Spent today driving around Pennington in Leigh using my GPS to log tracks. Have spent the evening updating the tracks into JOSM.
I now have my eye on Leigh & Atherton, which are very sparse in areas. Anyone else planning to map this area?
The GPS I used is actually my new Palm Pre, which I've had for nearly 3 weeks. Unfortunately there was no OSM software at all when I first acquired it, despite it having built-in GPS. Although to be fair it's only been available in Europe for a few weeks.
I picked up some knowledge of the new Palm webOS development kit (Mojo), and wrote a pretty crude App that logs GPS points, and stores them in an internal database. I've submitted this App to a Pre homebrew website, but it's still awaiting publishing. As soon as it becomes available, I'll put some references to it in the OSM Wiki. I believe there is another App being developed by someone else that does the same thing, but additionally plots the traces on top of the OSM tiles. Watch this space...
