First Time User Entry

Posted by Machello on 8 September 2009 in English.

I am not really sure what this diary is for, but I thought I would post an entry describing changes I made in my neighborhood.

Much of the Tiger data was just plain wrong for the Western Ridge Estates Neighborhood in West Waco and the surrounding areas. I deleted several streets that did not exist, extended others and created junctions. It was fun to start learning potlatch.

A couple of years ago, I noticed that Google maps had the same errors, so i sent off some map correction data to one of the companies that provides map data to Google and about 9 months to one year later, they finally fixed it. How nice to be able to fix it instantly here!.

Noticed lots of green dot POIs and I don't know how to create those.

Location: Ritchie, Waco, McLennan County, Texas, 76712, United States

Yes, welcome. You create a green dot in Potlatch by double-clicking in an empty area.
