As noted on our announce list GTALug will be having a picnic in
Dufferin Grove park August 17th and in with the announcement was a
link to the Open Street Map view of the park (it would be ... silly
... to have a picnic celebrating open source with a link to a
proprietary map).

So, there were some serious issues with the Dufferin Grove park map.
Saturday morning I walked around the park for about 45 minutes with a
hand held GPS to collect path tracks and note some of the features of
the park. I've been entering what I saw into Open Street Map, so the
map is now a lot better, but...

There is still a LOT of room for improvement, so, I would really
appreciate it if people who really know Open Street Map and/or
Dufferin Grove Park could further improve the map:

Thanks.
