Re: [Talk-GB] Panorama Mapping Party with TrekView - May 23 - Ashurst, New Forest, UK

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello Jez,

I think it probably would, as it would be of interest to open mapping 
enthusiasts, aims to collect open panoramic data, and OSM is used to connect 
the panoramas together - so I don't see why not.

I'll put it up when I have a chance.

Nick

Nice hookup with Trek Viewdoes this warrant adding to 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Current_events as a mapping party? I always 
like seeing UK events on there.

Hello everyone,

As some of you may know I am developing OpenTrailView 
(https://opentrailview.org), a pure 100% FOSS StreetView-like application for 
off-road routes such as hiking trails which uses OpenStreetMap data to 
auto-connect the panoramas together.

Recently I've been working with Trek View (trekview.org), 
an organisation which aims to capture panoramas of the natural world.
In their words: TrekView is a not-for-profit organisation using the power of 
panoramic photography to help educate and protect against further destruction 
of our beautiful planet. In 2020, they're launching Trekker Camp. Think virtual 
field trips. Trekker Camp will design and deliver immersive learning 
experiences to give students (7-11) the necessary understanding and skills to 
tackle the world's most pressing issues, from ocean health to climate change.

TrekView loan 360 camera packs (using the GoPro Fusion) to allow people to 
capture imagery of the natural world, from off-road routes including hiking 
routes and rivers. As well as Google Street View, TrekView's software now 
allows contributors to upload to OpenTrailView.

On to the most important aspect of this post. On May 23rd, and inspired by OSM 
mapping parties, we're organising a Panorama Mapping Party at Ashurst, New 
Forest, Hampshire, UK, with the aim of intensively capturing panoramic imagery 
of the paths and trails in the area which will then be uploaded to 
OpenTrailView. As OSM coverage in the area is exceptionally good, this should 
then result in the creation of extensive walk-through tours of the area.

The form will be similar to mapping parties. The plan is to meet at 11:00 
(there's a train which arrives from London at the local station, Ashurst New 
Forest, at around 10:45), plan, capture imagery and then get together in the 
pub afterwards.

More details (with OSM map showing location): 
https://www.trekview.org/blog/2020/pano-party-new-forest-uk-may-23-2020/


So if you're interested in 360 photography and OSM, then do come along! 360 
camera packs will be available to borrow and use on the day, or if you have 
your own device, please bring it along.

Thanks,
Nick
