I know this page is a bit old and dated so not too sure if anyone will reply to this but what about the latest handheld GPS systems from the likes of Garmin? Most of these nowadays come with mapping facilities and a whole host of other features. I've been trying to find the best GPS for the money so I can use it for street and terrain mapping and the Garmin ones seem pretty good. Any thoughts?

update: I added Lisboney Business Park yesterday. That’ll be the pink area of land in the ‘standard’ renderer on the openstreetmap.org site.

@michael
thanks for the somewhat misplaced praise
I’d certainly be interested in helping you get a more detailed map of the cycling routes online. the great thing about OSM is that any details I’d add for general use could also get pulled into the more specific cyclemaps and vice versa.
Plus we could get such maps printed out for cyclists and other tourists passing through the region on a ‘just-in-time’ approach – with each newer print being more up-to-date and comprehensive than the last – add in new B&Bs for example.

Ken,

Well done on the project to date. I am delighted with your comment above regarding the Cycling Hub project which I have been involved in. I was looking at using “mapmyride” to put a more detailed map online but your idea looks like the way to go. I would love to discuss this if you are interested.

hopefully! It’s on the back page of the latest edition – out today, Wednesday; titled “Putting Nenagh on the map”; under which they have a cropped print of the Nenagh map.

Once the article is made available on the newspaper’s website, I’ll link to it.

Unfortunately it all comes across as though I am the only one involved – there’s no sense of “OpenStreetMap community” in the article. Still, it’s good publicity for the project!
