Re: [Talk-GB] LugRadio Live UK 2008
If anyone going is able to help out on the OSM exhibit please get in touch. It would be great to have a few knowledgeable OSM'ers on hand to show people how the system works. While we won't have access to the live db at the event we can give participants a flavour of how it all works and I expect I'll have the loan GPS units that people can try out if they wish.

Re: [Talk-GB] LugRadio Live UK 2008
If we had a virtual image then we could do plenty. What works best is if we project the normal user interfaces up on a screen so that visitors can see how it works, That could be done off a laptop or even directly off the server perhaps. Some of the time you are zooming about on the map and some of the time you are explaining about the user interface through www. A static page or three of the wiki, even as an image, would explain how new users find out more about it all. There isn't really the space to have lost of people browsing a map.
