Aaaarghh. I just spent 3 hours walking with osmtracker, only to find out it didn't save the gps-track when I clicked stop&save.
If anyone knows a reliable tracker, please let me know.

I have been in a discussion about whether or not places that are officially cities should be tagged as cities even with a population of 40 000 and lower.
My idea is that if you don't tag them city, you adding false date to OSM. And that the renderers should use the population tag to decide how large and on what zoom level a name should be placed.
An other thing about places where there seems to be a disagreement is on what should be tagged, villages/cities... or municipalities.
My idea here is that it should be villages/cities and that municipalities should be areas as they contain more than one village.

I have been mapping for a while now. The yahoo satellite images are very helpful, but sometimes seriously outdated.
I wonder if there is an other way of adding roads aside from driving there and using gps (and have people stare at you, when on foot or bicycle).
Also, if you are mapping in Belgian Limburg, feel free to contact me.
