Hi, wandermap.net already donates tracks to OSM. Having more people contact varies sites; everytrail.com; wikiloc.com; bikely.com; bikemap.net and explain the benifit of both showing OpenCycleMap as a slippymap and donating GPS tracks. ... Will help.
Im now regularly using the Google Earth KML overlay with OSM & OCM. I think once that gets more notice, we will see an influx of contributors. I promote people using other track sharing sites (like bikeMap.net) BECAUSE it shows OCM. And then i explain that to help make the map better, people can donate tracks to OSM & edit the map. Yup, im also working on a little intro video. Great ideas :-) Sam On 12/16/09, John Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > 2009/12/17 Chris Barham <[email protected]>: >> On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 12:00 PM, Steve Bennett <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>> >>> Has anyone on this list had any success approaching groups to encourage >>> them to join? >> >> Can I make a suggestion that somebody approach Audax Australia as part of >> any outreach programme?.
