Hi Brian,

Welcome to the mailing list!

If you go to your own user page:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/

You should see a map of your location (if you have set it) and a list of
nearby mappers (if they have set their location).

Also, have a look at the map history for the area you are mapping and see
who has been editing then send them a message to say hi.

Sadly, there are few mappers in Korea and we are very spread out,
although, due to the excellent transportation network, some mappers have
mapped different places all over Korea.

Finally, if you are going to use any aerial imagery for your mapping
please be aware that the images are not always accurately placed.  I
suggest that you use GPS traces from some very visible feature to realign
the aerials and then start tracing.

Have fun!

Andrew

Welcome

There are a couple of sporadic mappers around Seoul, but I am not sure if
they are on the Talk list. Your best bet might be to go to
http://www.itoworld.com/static/osm_mapper.html , set up a couple of areas to
monitor and just see if anyone maps in your area(s). Then you can try and
contact them directly (and perhaps get them to subscribe to the talk-ko
list).

Good luck and safe mapping.

Robert (in Daejeon)

I'm new to OpenStreetMap, but have a lot of mapping experience. I live in
Goyang and want to know if there are any active mappers in the area. Thanks,
