There are in fact, quite some German based mappers, mapping in Canada.
So, you are right: let's just get more active mappers - worldwide; it
is, however, still easier to activate them locally.
I will pass on your positive experience with JOSM to my group for the
next event.
Cheers, Tim

>I would have to run a query now to find out if the relative number of
active mappers is higher in one country than the other, but that's not my
point.
But how do you determine where a mapper lives and don't forget many
armchair mappers map in a different location to where they live.

Hi John,
Thanks for your feedback and background information.
I think, we are on the same page. I am concerned with quality too, while
mapping should remain enjoyable.
We shied away from JOSM for newbies because it seemed more technical to
my groups members. I personally like JOSM better, and
The issue is the quality of the mapping, nothing else. I attended one of
these geoweek events and we used JOSM with the building_tool plugin. The
mapping of buildings was accurate even though 75% of the mappers had never
used JOSM before. There was no formal validation done but I verified each
Hello all,

Bonjour Charles,
Je suis en contact avec le responsable de McGill. Effectivement, dans leurs cas
ils prévoient réviser le travail avec les étudiants.
Par contre dans le cadre de Mapathons, il est important de prévoir en général
de bien sopporter les nouveaux contributeurs. Il me semble important
Bonjour Pierre,
Juste quelques précisions car j'ai été impliqué dans une de ces activités. Dans
le cas de Williams Lake (projet 91), il a été utilisé pour un mapathon d'un
nouveau groupe (Open Mapping Group McGill). C'est un nouveau groupe, mais qui
me semble très bien organisé. Il ya eu trois

Je t'ai informé précédemment que je constatais pour Calgary des doublons
d'adresse, celle-ci était ajoutée à la fois sur l'immeuble principal et le
garage. Et vérifiant rapidement, j'ai vu des cas similaires à Ottawa. Je n'ai
cependant pas analysé plus en détail la qualité des éditions
>BC2020 *is not a StatCan project*.
That comment came from Bjenk's old boss.
I note that Pierre has identified some data quality issues from maperthons
that appear to be associated with this.
Is anyone organising this or is it just a dream in the air?
In Ottawa we got some high quality mapping
