Normally this would work out better for me but I'm either going to be
picking up the Cherry Bomb (my truck, so named after an incident in which
an ether-fuelled backfire burned off my beard and half my hair about 3
weeks ago) from the shop or comatose.

So you mean that there is at least a pole to indicate the stop, something
as on this picture [1] ?

No. There's nothing. It just appears on the schedule.

In the UK "customary stops" like this tend to get tagged as

With help from the wonderful folks at Maptime Madison, we're planning on
hosting the first Madison (Wisc.) mapping party on the Spring Mapathon
weekend. Nobody involved has ever organized or even attended a mapping

Hi Harald,
It's great to see more events like this popping up all over. Is it due to
the spring thaw? Or greater community interest?
Generally, your plan sounds good. A few points that may help:

I've given up the dedicated GPS and/or pen and paper for data collection

All the pictures I take are geotagged. I transfer the photos to a computer

Thanks for the advice, Steven!

Let's say that they're probably both necessary ingredients to make this
happen :)
I find using an app like OsmPad useful when collecting address data. About as
fast, maybe faster than, writing numbers on paper when collecting data. And
much faster when editing in JOSM.

The real core question is: will you have newbies or not?
Old hands will have their favourite method of mapping anyway and are
unlikely to change (obviously for nearly every thing except large scale
geometry changes vespucci is the only reasonable solution :-)). For them
you simply need a reasonab

I'll apologise upfront in case any of this sounds like "the bleeding

Simon,
Your are going to have to come to Seattle and teach us how to use Vespucci.
We really struggle trying to use it. M
Now days there is quite a lot of on-device help for the not so obvious
parts (not that there are many). I admit that that needs to be dumped on
a website (is one of the things fairly high on the TODO list).
Back on topic: naturally one of the interesting things about a mapping
party -is- to see ho

I believe we will be more on the newbie side. There was a Maptime meet with
an introduction to OSM in November, which generated a couple new
contributors who will hopefully show up. So
I don't want to gush in a too self-congratulatory way, but the
comments, tone, replies... we've seen on this thread have been
awesome. Very nicely contributed, everybody, back pats and thumbs up
all around.
Keeping quiet for a bit now,

I'd also suggest the Pushpin app for iPhones too, it's a very quick way to
add points that you can then add the details to later. On a previous
mapathon I was doing Pushpin while my buddy was writing down the details
(address, hours, website etc) to add back when we got to the library. It

Whoa! We could have a mapping party to talk about mapping parties!
Awesome!
I expect to be there. I will bring my Columbus V-990, which is the

For OSM in the US? Finding and fixing the badly-digitized TIGER
