Certainly have.....Many thanks Kris


Ive just spent 5 hours editing in my mapping travels from today so the
faster tile server really helped out.  It is really fast.
Ive also been fixing hundreds of keep right errors in Canberra, so Fast
tiles are a must at the moment.

Today I had 8 gps units in the car and 5 were logging . A sixth, my
favourite, a Garmin 310xt forerunner was not logging because I forgot to
turn it on:-(
The Holux GPSSport 260 works really well, and has a good visualizer and
will plot waypoints as well as tracks - really nice to use.

The Qstarz 10 points per second logger is good for track work on the bike
but does tend to drift out of position now and again. It also runs out of
log space after a few hours.
The Iphone/5 mytracks app is excellent  and along with the voice memos make
detailed mapping from a car quite possible. However I must look for a
better audio app
that will geotag my recordings so that I don't have to describe my position
all the time and take waypoints with one of the loggers and then try to
match them up.
It works but is a pain.

The io-data/holux-m-241 logger worked well and was the best for taking
waypoints (the qstarz is also very handy for waypoints).
So with faster tiles and better survey equipment I managed to reclaim lots
of data today and get lots of new info as well. It's fun to be mapping
again even if it is tearing hell out of my car.
