Re: [HOT] Using a pen tablet for mapping input

2018-03-14 Thread Rupert Allan 
Hi All,
Great info!
I am wondering which folks, if any, have used this in the field/mobile?
Would love to hear of experience with that.
Thanks,
Best,

Rupert

I agree, and the predictive analytics fellowship should have a great 
opportunity for use of map data combined with other humanitarian data for 
modelling and prediction.

Thanks everyone! This is exactly what I wanted to know.  I'm thinking that a 
pen and tablet will be easier for me to control. And I am also trying to get 
away from Windoze.

I have been using a Wacom Intuos CTL-490 (probably the cheapest Wacom 
available, around USD110 here) combined with JOSM and its FastDraw plugin for 
over a year now. All of this in Ubuntu(Gnome) 16.04. 

They work great together, specially if you want to map forests, woods, 
reservoirs, riverbanks and any other large polygon. Take into consideration 
that you will have to tune the preferences of the FastDraw plugin to balance 
node density and shape quality. You do not want to make something with an 
excesive number of nodes but at the same time you want to take advantage of the 
level of detail that the pen alows you to get. 

Hope this helps you.

Re: [HOT] Using a pen tablet for mapping input

2018-03-14 Thread Julio Costa Zambelli 
I have been using a Wacom Intuos CTL-490 (probably the cheapest Wacom
available, around USD110 here) combined with JOSM and its FastDraw plugin
for over a year now. All of this in Ubuntu(Gnome) 16.04.

They work great together, specially if you want to map forests, woods,
reservoirs, riverbanks and any other large polygon. Take into consideration
that you will have to tune the preferences of the FastDraw plugin to
balance node density and shape quality. You do not want to make something
with an excesive number of nodes but at the same time you want to take
advantage of the level of detail that the pen alows you to get.

Hope this helps you.
