November 15, 2009 9:21 amOk, so I’ve trashed my photo gallery…
I hope to have it back up and running soon..
Deleting the backup and the back up of the back up in a cavalier fashion isn’t helping…

State of the Wirral Map
April 27, 2008 11:11 amOpen Street Map now has an easy export function which means it’s easier than ever to get images of map. More importantly you can export the XML for an area.
Here’s a state of the map for the wirral.
Open Street Map
April 20, 2007 11:22 pmWhilst searching for cool tools for my phone and the GPS I use with it, I found Open Street Map or OSM.
To quote from the OSM wiki….
“OpenStreetMap creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive or unexpected ways.”
Anyone with a bit of practice can edit the map. Sign up for a username and map your local area.
I have been saving GPS tracks on my phone using TrekBuddy whilst out in the car or on the bike. These can then be uploaded into the OSM editor and the dots joined to make routes. Tag them with a type e.g. road, cycleway and with a name eg “A41″, “Wirral Way” and the next time the map is re-rendered (re-generated) your road or whatever appears.
GPS
December 28, 2006 12:16 amThis years Christmas present was a rather splendid Bluetooth GPS receiver.
I’ve loaded a copy of TomTom v6 onto my phone and now I have satnav where ever I take my phone. Maps of the whole of western europe. Great for travel with work.
