GPS tracklogs wanted

[beepster]

Hi all, I've lost my job so while I'm on the search for something new I've decided to start doing as much work as I can to improve the Irish mapping on OpenStreetMap..

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page

I'm after any logs at all - primary roads, secondary roads, boreens, trails, urban areas, everything !! They can be in the form of .gpx files but I'm not fussy as I will convert.

I'd really appreciate this as I think it has the potential to be a great setup. The main advantages being not having to pay for updates every year or wait ages for new maps, i.e. if a new road opens just ride it once and bung up the map and it's done, e.g. the Kilbeggan to Ballinsloe motorway is already complete whereas on my Garmin, CoPilot, Ovi Maps etc I'm still riding out in the fields.

So when you say boreens do you also mean tracks you would not normaly drive down????

By boreen I mean the sorta roads/lanes that're just the one-car width, possibly with grass growing in the middle! But off-road trails and the like are also good, I'll put them all in.

You can see the various classifications here...
