Hello all, We are planning a mapping party for Saturday 23rd August (and possibly somewhere else on the Sunday).
We shall meet at the Stone's Throw Cafe (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=49.607806&mlon=-114.437315&zoom=16), Blairmore from 9.30am. There will be an introduction to OpenStreetMap followed by a small tutorial on collecting data using GPS'es/digital cameras, uploading it to the internet and creating a map. There will be a couple of experienced mappers on hand to help out, we're hoping that a few locals will join us to find out more about the project and help us complete the mapping of Blairmore (and surrounding areas time permitting). After lunch we'll collate the data which we have collected and add this the the OSM map. If people already have GPS tracks of their favorite hikes or trails and would like to contribute them the project, they can bring them on their GPS'es (with cables please) or on CD/disk and we'll show them how to upload/process them. Bring a GPS/Digital Camera (if you have them), or simply just a pen and paper. Cheers, Simon Wood. aka Mungewell. P.S. Enjoy SOTM, wish I were there! _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-ca
