About myself

My Name is Falko Thomale. I live in Chemnitz (50.835°N, 12.922°E) see on OSM map, Germany.

I am focusing on mapping of course in Chemnitz and also near Mittweida especially some small villages.

Equipment for OSM

i-Blue 747

In April 2009, I bought a Transystem i-Blue 747. Here are some points for interested people:

• With Linux you can easily use the software BT747 to download all the logs from the device over USB.
• With the switch on the side you can adjust if the i-Blue should log or not (use as gps-mouse). Unfortunately did the i-Blue log further even after you have pulled the switch back from logging. The only way to stop logging is, to turn it off by the software.
• The ring-storage-mode was not so useful for me (sometimes there were no logs - or even it stopped logging). So i use now the mode stop-when-storage-full. And after every tour am i deleting the storage.

Nokia N900

In April 2010, I bought a Nokia N900.

Software

• BT747
• JOSM
• I have written a plugin for Josm to edit the opening_hours tags with a graphical Dialog like a curriculum see JOSM/Plugins/OpeningHoursEditor.

amenity=post_box in Germany

At the moment I'm correcting misspellings in the tags of German postboxes. A list with all the post_box-tags in Germany is available under [1].
