Hello,
i was wondering if anyone can help on a few issues?
i just got a new gps and got a free disk to go with it with OSM australia on it and uploaded the maps to my gps my area is a bit bare so i thought id add some details
how much is too much detail?
and how accurate does it have to be as most gps have only limited accuracy, 5m average
as i just loaded the standalone executable program on disk how do i go about getting new updates? are they by way of small patch files or is a large file updated?
i tried to use image to gps but it wont detect my gps
thanks,
Hi Cloudy.
Try copying and pasting this onto the GPS Australia website.
http://www.gpsaustralia.net/
You’ll get a lot of help and advice there.
Hi Cloudyseas,
JMO, you cannot ever have too much detail. See something… I reckon feel free to add it. There is a LOT more to mapping than adding a few streets.
5m average accuracy? If only… Seriously though, a run of the mill hand-held is fine, if that is what you have. The accuracy of your** work will have a larger bearing on the final outcome.
As a starting point, I would recommend a thorough read of the wiki. As to updates, this http://www.osmaustralia.org/ might be helpful.
Cheers
