[Talk-GB] Panorama Mapping Party with TrekView - May 23 - Ashurst, New Forest, UK
Hello everyone, As some of you may know I am developing OpenTrailView (https://opentrailview.org), a pure 100% FOSS StreetView-like application for off-road routes such as hiking trails which uses OpenStreetMap data to auto-connect the panoramas together. Recently I've been working with Trek View (trekview.org), an organisation which aims to capture panoramas of the natural world. In their words: TrekView is a not-for-profit organisation using the power of panoramic photography to help educate and protect against further destruction of our beautiful planet. In 2020, they're launching Trekker Camp. Think virtual field trips. Trekker Camp will design and deliver immersive learning experiences to give students (7-11) the necessary understanding and skills to tackle the world's most pressing issues, from ocean health to climate change. TrekView loan 360 camera packs (using the GoPro Fusion) to allow people to capture imagery of the natural world, from off-road routes including hiking routes and rivers. As well as Google Street View, TrekView's software now allows contributors to upload to OpenTrailView. On to the most important aspect of this post. On May 23rd, and inspired by OSM mapping parties, we're organising a Panorama Mapping Party at Ashurst, New Forest, Hampshire, UK, with the aim of intensively capturing panoramic imagery of the paths and trails in the area which will then be uploaded to OpenTrailView. As OSM coverage in the area is exceptionally good, this should then result in the creation of extensive walk-through tours of the area. The form will be similar to mapping parties. The plan is to meet at 11:00 (there's a train which arrives from London at the local station, Ashurst New Forest, at around 10:45), plan, capture imagery and then get together in the pub afterwards. More details (with OSM map showing location): https://www.trekview.org/blog/2020/pano-party-new-forest-uk-may-23-2020/ So if you're interested in 360 photography and OSM, then do come along! 360 camera packs will be available to borrow and use on the day, or if you have your own device, please bring it along.

As it's been a week, with no objections, I'm proceeding with the amendments. I'm keeping a copy of the stations.so they can be reverted in the unlikely event they require reverting.

I think that part of the reason historically was that older out-of-copyright maps (and things like townlands) were common across the island of Ireland. Even if it was "overclaiming" I don't think that there would be a particular problem with talk-gb also being included on the list for NI at https://openstreetmap.community/ - the worst that could happen would be that someone would get an answer to their question (which might also include a mention of various IE resources). I recently expanded the "East Midlands" coverage north a bit to reflect occasional meet-ups in Sheffield and the fact that we've had people attending from further north again. This could make the situation of gb geojson simpler. Do you know where they've defined gb? I can't see it. It uses the iD editor's country coder. The documentation for that is at https://github.com/ideditor/country-coder#readme There's a list in there of what it does and what it doesn't do.

[Talk-GB] "British Islands" (was "OSMUK-in-a-box")

We ended up settling on the British Islands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Islands The data underneath https://openstreetmap.community/ could do with an update as it explicitly avoids the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands as it uses "gb" as the definition in https://github.com/osmlab/osm-community-index/blob/master/resources/europe/united_kingdom/uk-localchapter.json . The solution would be similar to what I've just done for Ireland: https://github.com/osmlab/osm-community-index/pull/332 - define a geojson for the "British Islands" and change those resources that should use it from "gb". The differences would be that we'd probably need 2 geojsons, since I've always assumed that the talk-gb list didn't include NI but OSM UK did, and that a geojson that had to include the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic would necessarily be more complex than the straightforward one I created for the island of Ireland.
