[OSM-talk] Updating www.bestofosm.org

[hbogner]

Here is my suggestion:

City of Sinj and Region of Cetinska krajina

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=43.7058&lon=16.6355&zoom=14&layers=M

Almost all mapped by one person, over the age of 55.
He started using iPhone for tracing, then Garmin60csx, then joined 
mountain rescue... and that all before Bing imagery.

Regards,
Hrvoje
