As someone said, it's possible that Garmin would consider OSM a potential
competitor, however that's not certain and it does us no harm to try.

Dear Detroit area mappers,
We're building a mapping party for the Detroit area for Oct. 11-12. I'd
love to have help from a local expert. Are you a Detroit local? Where
should we host? What local cycle, hiking, geocache, community groups
should we contact? Are you up to help out? And come on
Richard,
I'm curious, who is this mysterious 'we' in your announcements and
listings in the wiki?
Cheers,
Adam

Are you an MSP local? Where should we host? What local cycle, hiking,
geocache, community groups should we contact? Are you up to help out?
