I also, live a couple of hours from a large metropolitan area and rarely get to a mapping party. This got me thinking, how about a "live" mapping party over the internet. We could pick out an area to map, talk on IRC or some other form of communication, and get one specific area mapped well. Obviously, there would have to be one or more people in the area to mark up the buildings and POIs, but any area with relatively high resolution should be mappable. I know, I know, why don't we spend our time mapping our own area, but I spend many hours mapping my own area a week and after a while of getting into it I take a step back and realize I am just acting like a digitizer with a glazed stare at the screen. :) It would be good to communicate with other mappers, and get ideas for things we as individuals are missing while mapping, seeing other people's workflow process, etc. I think it would be very interesting. Good/bad/horrible idea?
