[Talk-us] Imports, trails, POIs for National Parks
Hi, I noticed that there is a bit of work going on with importing Park data. I know that's a broad subject, anything from Forest Service Roads to GPSed trails from vacations, hydrology imports and as always, fixing TIGER data… There's a bunch out there. I wanted to get a feel for what, if any, work has been done for National Parks in the US. Is there anyone here (or an OSM wiki page perhaps) where folks are organizing to get Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and Rocky Mountain National Park mapped (to name a few ;))? I am also looking to build out a Project of the Week (or Month) to do some concentrated effort in this direction. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Project_of_the_week/Proposals#Date_Specific I think it would be super cool to have our National Parks so well mapped it is the go-to resource for this summers family road trips and outdoor adventures or the closer in hikes in the afternoon! Any suggestions on where to look for other users interested in this, or free and open data import sites, all information will be helpful. Thanks and happy mapping, Hurricane Coast ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Olympic National Park's trails and roads are mostly there, the accuracy is somewhere between spot on and 20m off. Many of the trails are difficult to accurately align due to tree cover. I've been looking into getting more recent trail, road, and structure GIS data from the park, but I usually get stalled from some reason. -Tyler On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 4:23 PM, Coast, Hurricane hurricane.co...@mapquest.com wrote: Hi, I noticed that there is a bit of work going on with importing Park data.

You can find a lot of data at the nps web site: http://nrinfo.nps.gov/Home.mvc I did a quick check and saw trail map data sets for 3 out of 3 parks: Acadia, Great Smoky and Grand Canyon. I didn't check what format or quality or anything else about them.
