I would normally take little notice of such a page after taking a quick look through it’s content. It did however catch my eye due to the fact that I have been exceedingly close to 3 of the mentioned depositories.

I was within a few miles of the NZ one. I was on Alcatraz island, and it really isn’t that large an island. I have a photo of a fountain right in front of the HK one.

I am currently undertaking a mapping project for the Open Streetmap project.

Cloudmade who do a great deal of work with the OSM community have given me a grant to get a GPS set for this purpose.

The device has been shipped off to Shetland where it is being driven around by a friend of mine. I received the first batch of data a few days ago, and save for a few small issues, the data is good, clean and ready for proper processing.

On completion this project will allow the addition of very accurate mapping of central Shetland in OSM maps.
