If they go out to tag a tree, and see that the road is out of alignment by a couple metres, then show them how to enhance the map. That's what OSM is all about, getting the community involved in making the map. As opposed to Google, Mapquest, TeleAtlas, or whoever else, here at OSM, you as a user can make the map, not just look at it. Those who are interested in heritage buildings can put a POI in place, or even better, draw in the building outline. These aren't quite heritage buildings, but rather commercial buildings in a shopping complex, but the concept is the same. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.4480357170105&lon=-113.482160568237&zoom=15 James VE6SRV _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
