Every now and again I add to Melbourne using the yahoo imagery, but for me the greatest use has been to map mountain bike trails and bush walks. What I love is that I can add them to OSM and then upload the garmin map version of the things that I've added back to the gps. So next time I'm back out that way there it all is ready to use on the gps, and I hope that it will help others as well when they head out back country.
For me it certainly is my favourite part of osm. Now you've inspired me to send some links to the bits I've contributed to the map over the last year.
