Hi all, I've been working on getting the base map in place in my rural community, now I'd like to get new contributors filling in the details with tag amenities etc.
I started working on a 'Put your community on The Map' poster, but my artistic skill are that artistic, which I think would be an effective tool. > It took me a while to develop a mapping style.

Just whizzing past them on the highway and taking a shot of the sign to label the stub would be a good job for the co-driver. These stubs can then be traced from aerial maps.
