Hi Alex, Welcome to OpenStreetMap. I see that the Yahoo! imagery in this area is pretty good. Based on the imagery, your points of interest seem reasonable. In general, I need to feel more confident when I am changing the work of another editor, than when I am adding data in an area with limited data. Since you have visited this area, and the imagery is good you should add to the map. You can make a difference by adding roads and roundabouts. Just leave the road names blank if you don't remember them. Adding the points of interest that you recall will help the map in this area as well. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
