Ben<br>You could also take a digital camera with you and take photos at the key points where, for example, a road changes into a footpath. JOSM can read the EXIF tags on the photos and match them up with your track logs.<br>
<br>I'd recommend a camera anyway for recording street names, points of interest and anything else that you might see.<br><br>Etienne<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/5/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ben Robbins

<p><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">Best to stick to physical routes. So no wandering across the fields of<br>flying the glider. Its far easier to upload and edit as you go as the tweaks<br>
and turns and transport mode mean you can tag the mapping more easily. There<br>are plenty who have logged railways and there is a good scattering of river<br>and canal tracks. Roads, cycleways, footpaths are also all there to some
<br>degree. A few have also added ski runs and their summer counterparts.<br><br>So, just about anything that's a permanent fixture on a traditional map is<br>good for OSM. That includes points of interest too.<br><br>Cheers,

<p><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>hmm, This puzzles me a bit, because at present the data is all yellow dots online, and teenyweeny dots in JOSM, so if a road stops and a footpath continues on from that point in the same direction, then when editing who's to know where the road ended, except for simply estimating?
</font><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">(also am i correct to assume that at some point it will be easy to differnsiate between the differetn types of route/dots?)</font></p><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">

<p>Ive seen railways before, but this is the first time I've had some confusion, where i had to think carefully what was what. (Fort William and Around) Due to there being footpath routes already around there, and even part of a route that isnt a footpaht (although I'm awair of scotlands freedom to rome) I decided to upload the footpath i had, but up till this point I havnt even uploaded gated roads and/or tracks.

<p>Thanks,</p>
