[Talk-GB] OpenStreetMap's first flight!

[John Robert Peterson]

I had a gps set with me, and geocoded the images, but the geocoding seems to
be off by hundreds of meters (2-3 seconds).

I even corrected for time error (with the photo of gps set thing), I suspect
there is some lag in the display of my gps set.

side note, the new images are up at:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/thingomy/sets/72157622360497142/ -- I
appologise if there is duplication of any type.

@john -- when and where do you want to meet up? I'm busy on friday but can
do any time before then.
