I was a litte concerned that the 8 metre (ish) accuracy of my Garmin Geko 201 GPS receiver would be 'exposed' when mapping on a small scale but as the screenshot indicates it did perfectly well in mapping Newcastlewest on a small scale. That is, junctions and backtracks aligned almost exactly and plenty accurately enough for our purposes.
It was actually fun trying to plan what trajectory would be optimal before setting out - which directions would contribute the most mapping in the least amount of time. As it is happens I didn't actually have much time on my hands and so just did a quick drive around the outskirts of the town, quickly passing through the center. The 'second pass' will concentrate on adding more detail to the cente, around The Square.
