Every week I do an update to my OpenStreetMap Garmin map.  It's as much for me as for anyone else - the mapping I've been enjoying doing all year (marvelously described as "OCD gardening" elsewhere) is very satisfying when I see the new material on my GPS.  But because other people use the map too, I have to do a bit of quality control.

Each time I've finished the build, I'll do a little pan-and-scan over the whole thing, on the GPS, as an eyeball check.  Every time, I finish off by zooming right into the place where the cursor has ended up, and thinking about the points and place names I see there.  There's something intriguing about being able, if I want, to just click "go!" and be routed there, right now.

This week, it's the Amnesty Cafe in Galway.  I wonder what their cakes are like?

Tesla coil.  Imperial March.  Say no more.
