Open Street Map
Ever since I got my N95 I’ve been doing some small mapping for the Open Street Map project. I’ll have to say, it has been fun. As strange as it sound it’s fun walking the streets of the local area.
In Widnes, theres alot of unmapped area, what has been done has been done by Chris, but only around Appleton has been done. In 3-4 days i’ve managed to do a few of my major routes. I’d highly recommend anyone with a GPS to get out there and help the project.
