Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping at Moira, NW Leicestershire.

[Gregory Marler]

Not being completely shameless, it seems appropriate to plug the "Mapper
Diaries" I've been doing...

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOzESllbuA8MvERQYiO0KuA/videos
Many of the videos are me talking as if someone has tagged along to my
mapping. I'm slowly getting used to doing that in public, but you also get
to see me editing when back home. Possibly helpful for people that don't
find a local mapping community.

Both the West Midlands group and Nottingham pub meets move around. They may
be open to doing a meetup closer if you get in touch with them.

All the best,
Gregory.

Everyone has different interests.  Just because they are local doesn't 
mean that someone is going to be interested in cycle infrastructure.


My activity thus far has been editing the cycling infrastructure to 
allow routing websites to route correctly.
There is construction activity in the area that does need mapping and 
does have cycling infrastructure impact but it's more than I's wish to 
tackle without knowing quite a bit more than I do now.


The main things to remember is not to make subjective judgements are 
about suitability - record the details that an ideal router would use to 
make its own judgements - and don't use guidebooks, etc., as as source 
of information - named routes may have database rights associated with them.


Don't expect to be able to get routers to take the decisions you would 
make.  If you go too far that way, you will end up tagging for the 
renderer (routers are considered renderers), which is not allowed.
