Paul,
Thanks for scheduling the mapping party. I plan to attend along with one
guest. I'll bring my GPS along with my Android phone with OSMTracker.

[Talk-ca] Local Vancouver meeting: Map Central Park

2014-06-03 Thread Paul Norman
I am planning on hosting a mapping event in Central Park 
(http://osm.org/way/23165846), in Burnaby, BC.


My tentative date is Sunday, June 15th at around noon, but if people 
want a different time I could shift it.


The park is a major park in the region, but under-mapped, with 
potentially not all of the trails.


Some of the things I'd like to get mapped are

- More appropriate tags for the trails. highway=track is probably not 
accurate

- The surface of trails
- Locations of fitness equipment in the park
- Bathrooms
- Picnic areas
- Other park infrastructure
- Anything missing or interesting

At this time of year, it should be nice sunny weather, and the shade 
from the trees should be welcome.


I intend to bring my mapping kit (camera, GPS, etc), as well as field 
papers type printouts on larger paper for us to mark up. I'm not 
planning on bringing a laptop, or if I do, it's staying in the trunk.


After mapping, we can go somewhere nearby for food. I'd also like to 
discuss holding regular events.


If you're interested, please let me know so that I know other people 
will be coming and to attend on time myself! I also need to have 
printouts made in advance.
