Borbus has been an OpenStreetMap contributor since late 2010 when he got his first GPS device for his bicycle. He quickly realised that the best maps available for a bicycle are made from OSM data, but they still need a lot of work, so OSM addiction commenced. Now everywhere he goes he is thinking to himself "Has anyone mapped this place yet?"
Tools
Garmin eTrex Legend HCx for collecting tracks
JOSM for editing
Digital camera for taking pictures while out surveying (later Geotagged by JOSM)
Sanyo Eneloop batteries for never running out of power while out
Armchair for sitting and tracing Bing imagery (but never in an area I have never been out and surveyed first!)
Data sources
The majority of my data comes from surveys and Bing aerial imagery. I quite often make use of Ordnance Survey OpenData, but I always set appropriate source tags in this case. Any other data sources I use will be noted on this page: User:Borbus/Other sources.
