This weekend I started mapping the east-of-Gillham part of 43rd St in KC. I went from Gillham to just past 71 on Saturday, and further east to Indiana on Sunday.
Pedestrian-safety observation: The crossings on either side of Gillham Park are The Worst. You can go way up or down and find a crosswalk with a light, or you can take your chances running across both-way car traffic and then both-way bike traffic without much visibility. For this entire stretch of road (and most of my outdoor activities around KC) I wear bright dae-glo jackets. I call it protective coloring.
There wasn’t much to map in this area as it was mostly homes. I crossed the bridge over Highway 71 and found a few benches and a bookcase that was locked. I mapped these, but I do not think they are being maintained anymore. There was a defunct church nearby that I think they were part of. I took photos of the various tags on the bridge and the view looking down on the highway while crossing - cool and fun for me, but not necessarily mapping-related. I also photographed a few tags painted on walls, but nothing quite rose to the level of a mural.
On Sunday I brought Mom out with me, and she made a valiant effort to keep up with the up-and-downhill walking, but we ended up quitting a bit early as she was exhausted. We didn’t have much to map until around Indiana St where we found a little strip mall with a convenience store and hairdresser. I showed her how I map the amenities around the outside such as the trash can, standing ashtray (or trashcan for cigarettes, as translated for OSM’s tagging system), the compressed air machine and attached vacuum. She had been tired from walking but perked up and urged me to also map the UHaul pickup/drop-off location. On the way back to where we parked, I also found a roadside memorial for someone who died in an accident. I had trouble deciding how to map this, as I felt it should be mapped but it was not a “cross” - it seemed instead to be centered around a solar light - so I was not sure the best way to tag it. Advice is welcome!

Slightly annoyed today when OSM navigation landed me at a path that was blocked by an official barrier for roadworks further on. I was a bit late for my goal, so I didn’t stop to take a photo, but I have just edited the path, so I hope nobody else gets sent that way in future.

After fighting the user interface, both here and after installing JOSM on my system, I’m inclined to just forget about OSM for now. Something needs to radically change if the local contributions are of any value here. I simply do not have the time to attempt to master a very broken u.i.
I understand the concern for those who use a language other than English and making a translators job more difficult, but this suffocates the ability to use colloquial terminology particularly here in Australia, words that may be accurately descriptive in the USA or UK may have a totally different meaning here in some circumstances and this degrades its usefulness to ordinary users and for contributors it makes finding the appropriate tag for an edit extremely difficult. Yes we speak English and watch television created in the US and UK, so we kind of understand foreign meanings but that doesn’t mean we are prepared to give up our local descriptions and adopt different spellings and meanings, just like we are not prepared to change to driving on the “right side of the road”. OSM will never reach wide acceptability here in Australia unless more people are prepared to contribute and without radical changes to the usability of the editing interfaces, few people will bother to contribute. My first impressions are that design by committee has produced a fundamentally broken product. The only way OSM can compete with mega entities like Google or to some degree Apple who do use OSM for a some of their content, is to enlist more local contributors and allow more local input into administration of the community, at the moment OSM is very US or UK centric. Both Google and Apple have user contribution ability built in to their apps and it makes their product much more usable for their users. I hate to see just two companies dominate in the product space and I had hoped that OSM had the potential to compete but after attempting to make a useful contribution the edit interfaces have dashed that hope. I have extensive knowledge of the Barossa Valley, Northern Adelaide and Riverland, I could have made some valuable contributions but I don’t have time to waste on broken editing tools that require tertiary understanding to use properly. language=en-AU location: Gawler, South Australia

Preparations
2023 01-25: Latitude 50.850347519055674 Longitude 4.375579829793424
Underway of preparing for the trip, and making sure I have everything and dealt with the commitments before leaving. I am looking forward, perhaps particularly to Bulgaria and Greece but also to Germany, Prague, Budapest, and Transylvania. We will see how long I travel. Maybe would be nice to continue somewhere and return in late April. Maybe the Nordics or Turkey and Georgia. We’ll see! I think I should maybe slow things down a little while sticking to the plan, not be overambitious, and enjoy. Cross-country skiing around Kolasin would indeed be something realiseable. Hope to get two weeks after all and will insist on Belgrade with the boys.

So it’s been 7 years since she got taken. It’s been that long I feel helpless. I really hope I can be there for her. I just want to protect her. My baby’s. I miss you. I miss who I was when I was your mother. I need to make this right.

I just thought I’d update my diary and give a shout for my trusty GT-31. Every few years I revive it and take it out for some data logging. This year I took it around the new Waterbeach development near Cambridge, UK. It worked perfectly. This is an amazing piece of kit.
One slight let-down was discovering that GPSBabel seems to have dropped support for the GT-31’s native SBP format. I thought that might be the end of my OSM career, but then luckily I found that I can still run the old NaviSys software on Windows 11. I can’t connect to the GT-31 over USB any more (why not?) but I can load the SBP file from the SD card and convert it to GPX. I can then drop the GPX file straight into OSM’s iD editor. Such great software!

Dear Diary,
Today marked a significant milestone in my exploration of the world—my first mapping activity. Armed with my trusty GPS device, a sense of curiosity, and a desire for adventure, I set out to document the landscape around me.
The morning air was crisp, and the sun cast a warm glow as I embarked on this new journey. Armed with the tools of modern exploration, I navigated through familiar streets and ventured into areas I had yet to discover.
As I walked, I marked waypoints at interesting locations, capturing the essence of each spot. The quaint coffee shop on the corner, the hidden park with its serene ambiance, and the bustling market—all found their place in my digital map.
Creating routes added a sense of purpose to my exploration. I followed winding paths, capturing the intricate network of streets and alleys. It felt like I was leaving a digital trail of breadcrumbs, each waypoint telling a story of the places I visited.
The highlight of my mapping adventure was recording a track of my entire journey. It was fascinating to see the intricate pattern that emerged—a visual representation of my exploration. The twists and turns, the pauses at various landmarks, all etched into the digital canvas of my mapping application.
This activity not only satisfied my curiosity but also ignited a newfound appreciation for the art of mapping. Each point on the map now holds memories, and the routes tell tales of the paths I’ve taken.
As I conclude this diary entry, I can’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment. My first mapping activity opened a door to a world of discovery, and I’m eager to continue exploring and mapping the beauty that surrounds me.
Until the next adventure, makilagi ed
