Hi list,
Is it possible to create a fresh (offline) map of a geographical
location, a village or a neighbourhood for example, for use in an
educational project where children create the map from scratch (using
gps)? As opposed to editing or adding to an already existing map?
You could use JOSM, and just save your edits as an .osm file on your
computer (without uploading to openstreetmap.org).
Then use something like Maperitive to render a map from this.
The disadvantages are you need to load the complete file into JOSM or
Maperitive, so you are limited by how much memory you have. But should
be fine for a reasonable size village or neighbourhood.
Plus if you are using multiple computers, you will have to copy the file
between them (maybe use Dropbox or similar for this). And best to avoid
multiple people editing at once, otherwise you end up with conflicting
versions.
