since working this out have you tried to improve the documentation that would have made it easier for you? I assumed anyone used to wikipedia would have tried clicking on the edit link. The biggest issue for me was when I first looked at OSM it seemed over whelming, it wasn't clear cut as to how to go from a GPS trace to add or edit map, even when I started looking into it more serious I was still a bit bewildered by it all. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
