Hello,
I am Ernst (de_pelgrim) a Dutch guy always interested in mapping, but never started the right way. Now I am doing some reading about mapping and planning to practice mapping during my holiday in Lesbos Greece.
After walking around Petra (Lesbos) looking at what could be added I found a lot of mapping work that can be done.
But my first remark is that the building drawn not always match the location on bing satellite images and I am not able to shift the satellite images to correct this. So is Bing not a good reference image or was an other reference image used, which one?
Also a pier is about 10mtr off and has no connection. 
I'm using Android based tools like osm go, every door and vespucci, no desktop available at my holiday address.
I hope someone can help me start, by explaining what's best to do.
Best regards,
Ernst.
