Here is my personal, educated view on the way volunteers working on the

The guidelines the USGS provides to contributors specifically states that

The GPS devices are not so useful in urban areas, for two reasons:
reduced accuracy because of buildings, and street network already in

It's good to hear about your meetup group, and that it's growing.
I'm very glad I won't have to try to explain the details and warnings
about the license change to new mappers
How did it go?
I ran a meetup in Salt Lake[1] on Saturday and we had six people, two
new to OSM. We talked about mapping priorities, the effects of the
license change (we have a decliner in the area who has been very
active in the past), and went out mapping downtown businesses. It was
fun, and we

Eric,
Thanks for the info.
I might be mistaken, but I recall looking at the public "crowd
sourcing" pilot. I noticed that a lot of edits submitted by the
public were sourced from copyright or license restricted sources.
There were comments from contributors like "per Google" or "per
yellowpages.

I'm trying to complete local bicycle infrastructure here in and around
