Re: [talk-au] Another tool for finding Poke-paths

Hi

The ones I looked at were http://osmcha.mapbox.com/45454430/ (the zig-zag
made me wonder?) & http://osmcha.mapbox.com/45454374/ (a nice straight
rectangular path?).

Thanks

Graeme

Andrew,

Good suggestion. I'd suggest go one step further, and help Niantic 
create some good press (and from their point of view attract users), by 
encouraging users to do good work for Open Street Map.


Lets ask, if we could potentially ask lots of Pokamon players to help 
OSM as part of playing a game, what would that look like?

be haunted or dead-zones for the game?

  Currently the company has in effect been promoting dishonest edits, it
would IMO be better if the company were to discourage such conduct.

No.

Even if you used a source we had permission to use, I would first add a
changeset comment. As the imagery might no longer reflect reality.

Which changeset are you referring too here?
