[OSM-newbies] mapping a village (newbie)

[Chris Hunter]

Since there's no aerial imagery, i'd recommend going over the same street several times and drawing your street line down the middle of your tracks. 

My brother-in-law has a G1 and it's pretty accurate.  Make sure you have an extra USB backup battery with you, since the GPS chip eats a lot of power.

Hi Everyone,

I have just come across with OSM, and it's lovely. Congartulations for 
the community! I would like to contribute by mapping a Hungarian village 
which is a white area currently, without any useful aerial images:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=47.381&lon=20.8463&zoom=14&layers=000BFTF

I have a G1 phone with MyTracks. I am planning to take a car and 
basically just drive through all streets systematically - than upload 
the tracking file and tag it.
Do you think that would work?
Any thougths on the method?
Maybe create more track files, not just one big... wait for aerial 
photography... anything like that? Use a different sw? Or should I just 
go along?


Thanks,
- Fagzal
