About Me

SK53-osm
SK53 received a Garmin GPS as a Christmas present in 2008. Foolishly he downloaded OSM, noticed a nearby street was missing, and promptly sold his soul to mapping. Since then he has mapped large parts of Nottingham, verified about half of Maidenhead, takes a PC on holidays for mapping, and now has 2 more GPS gadgets, but still feels the need for more. Further details on his OSM wiki page User:SK53
