[OSM-talk] Uploading Data in New Zealand

[Brett Henderson]

That's great news.

Just out of curiosity, do you know if walking tracks such as the Milford 
Track are included?  I'm heading there in a few weeks and was planning 
to map it out.  Depending on the timeframe you guys end up with, I might 
be better to only upload GPS tracks until the main data comes online.

Cheers,
Brett
