However, I am coming to have reservations about the use of GPS for that purpose. I found that I had to re-align everything to Bing for it to be useful, and, as I was mapping front door nodes, rather than buildings, I had to make a second pass to note the layout of the houses and to check for semis versus detached (the latter because of the GPS wander). Although it hasn't come back to the top of my list, I'm considering whether to dispense with the technology for the next tranche and just make notes to allow me to match up with Bing. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
