Mapping Complete!
Posted on 27/10/07 23:35
Well, OK, so I haven't completely & single-handedly mapped the local area for OpenStreetMap yet, but I have finished the tracks I generated as part of the Leeds Mapping Party, and a few I've picked up subsequently.
Has it made a massive difference? Probably not, but I've managed to fill in a few blanks, and improve the structure of the mapped road network in the area between Leeds, York and Selby. There's an awful lot left to do, including the detail of residential streets in all the towns and villages, but hopefully we're now a step closer to being finished.
My next goals are probably completing Cawood, and perhaps one or two other local villages, and then to push out beyond the A19 into East Yorkshire where there's a lot of key roads and even villages still missing. In the mean time, here's how the area looks so far:
Anyone who's interested in either a York or a Selby mapping party, please post up a comment either here or on the OpenStreetMap wiki pages (York; Selby) and lets see if we can't arrange something.
