[talk-au] Beginner advice [was Re: Geelong problems]

[Paul Zagoridis]

Thanks Matt

I'm based in the eastern suburbs of Sydney - well mapped and have cleaned up
and added in an ad hoc manner. I guess I just need to get used to JOSM's
validator and get cleaning up the bits I've got GPS traces for.

At the moment I am not Garmin equipped. Handed back my Logic Gear when I
left work and am left with a SIRF III Keomo I bought in Germany.

There's plenty of empty bits to map... depending on where you are, have 
a crack at cleaning up the local roads (adding phone boxes, post boxes 
etc), or get out and about for some of the unmapped roads. If you're 
Garmin equipped, grab one of the Garmin maps and try and drive where 
there are no roads on the GPS :-)

If you're Melbourne or surrounds based, then the western suburbs need 
some serious loving, along with Box Hill, Doncaster, Heidelberg and 
Warrandyte. If you're rural, then there will be heaps to do (unless you 
live in Taralgon and Neil has beaten you to it).

Matt
