Hi All, This reminds me of the first time I did this, and Claire was very helpful. I was in Zimbabwe, and we needed a grid to put into OSMAND on phones. Well, here I am in Uganda with the same need... Using this wiki: How to use with OsmAnd <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OsmAnd>
During field mapping in Bangladesh, extensive use was made of field papers and a system was developed by which mappers could upload the Field Papers grid to OSMAND to help them navigate their tasks for the day. Was VERY useful! <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:OSMand_grid_screenshot.png> Example of OSMand incorporating Field Papers grid - Export Field Papers as normal to PDF, but also download the geojson (scroll down for the link) - Open the geojson in JOSM* (or equivalent). *requires opendata and josm-geojson plugins - Use lines to write the grid numbers in each cell - Export as GPX - Upload to phone or tablet in /osmand/tracks - Select Configure Map and enable GPX track - Click on GPX track and select your imported grid file Now, when I ask to export a GeoJson Grid in the 'download pdf' part of field papers, it has a bug. Anybody got a work-around?

It depends on the digital revolution to empower people within their own communities to take control of how they are represented, mapped, and seen by the outside world. The project finds its heart not in the technology or tools it uses, or commercially interested organisations backing it, but on the Open Street Map itself, the publicly owned wiki-style platform, accessible to anyone via Smartphone or Computer, to edit, use or develop. It is a transparent, cost-neutral project by which donors can engage and collaborate with their field counterparts, giving time rather than money to support the production of commonly owned visualisations from satellite and field data. This enables the delivery of humanitarian assistance in the form of engineering, medical, and cultural intervention in areas generally considered 'inaccessible' and 'precarious'.
