Following a couple of days walking around Almogía over the Christmas break, I've added 3 local signposted hiking trails to OSM.
I'm especially pleased that OSM-based outdoor maps will now show connections between the Camino Mozárabe to the east and the PR-A 293 to the west, via the summit of Santi Petri. Both were already mapped, but until now it was difficult to be sure from online information if there was a waymarked route between them.
Before and after screenshots:
A nice thing about these connections is that they allow me to indulge my hobby of devising long linear hiking itineraries using public transport to connect the start and end points.
One of my walks started with the first train of the day from Málaga to Cártama (point 1) and walking about 24 km to Almogía village (point 2), arriving just in time for the last bus to Málaga. With a bit more daylight later in the year, an even longer walk would link to the more frequent city bus network (point 3).
Also as part of mapping these recent hikes, I've been trying out uploading some of my survey photos to #Panoramax via @MapComplete - mainly of guideposts and information boards/maps. Previously I only used this kind of photo to inform my mapping, without sharing them. But it seems kind of a waste to leave them sitting on my hard drive.
Of course the danger is that I'll now start worrying about the lighting and composition of what used to be mere throwaway survey snapshots...
@alan Every contribution helps! Thanks!
@alan @MapComplete how can i delte photos i've uploaded via mapcomplete.
I wanted to checkout the function, but though there would be another check and confirm dialog.
@pr3d @MapComplete That's a good question that I also ran into - I realised the location of the 1st photo I added was badly wrong.
I think I was able to do this via "Unlink Picture" -> "Report inappropriate picture", and then explaining the situation.
But once a picture is unlinked I'm not sure if there is any way to manage it.
