[Talk-GB] Scouts Mapping in Central Scotland

2008-02-03 Thread Callum Noble
Hi All,

I was speaking to someone involved with the Scout Network in Scotland, 
which is an organisation for ex-Scouts aged 18-25.


He suggests a joint mapping weekend/party somewhere in Central Scotland 
between the Scouts and some OSM contributers. With some of us to give a 
talk on the project and a demo of how to go about mapping/editing. (They 
have there own supply of GPS)


A brief discussion suggests that this might be better based at a larger 
town which is pretty blank on the map, rather than in Glasgow/Edinburgh 
- which for the most part - have their centers mapped quite well now.

Falkirk came up as a possibility but anywhere central could work out. I 
understand they have access to accommodation for themselves in quite a 
few places - not sure of the exact details of this though.


Any Glasgow/Edinburgh/Central Scotland people interested in this?

Apologies to the rest of the list, but I can't find any other way to 
contact Nick Whitelegg to let him know that free-map.org.uk appears to 
be down - I get a

Re: [Talk-GB] Mappers in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset

 The maps are sold on a county-by-county basis and he's going to start
 with Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset and Somerset (3 maps) and see how
 they sell before deciding whether to go further.

Probably not the best choices in terms of OSM coverage.

 I wanted to start off by asking around to find out if anyone is
 mapping in those areas. As I'm in Merseyside it's unlikely I'll be
 doing any mapping in-situ, if there's no-one else to help I'll
 probably end up using NPE maps to finish it off.

I've done some work in Somerset when visiting my parents, both
in the immediate area and primary/secondary roads around them
including some NPE tracing. The overlaps a bit into Devon and
Dorset as well as they're quite close to the edge of Somerset.
