Hi Graeme - this is exactly what I was thinking about in my question earlier - make mapping part of the job. Also great to hear OSMAnd+ in there (my choice of personal navigator for offline missions in both Australia and Norway )
Also want to touch on a point Ewen made. I was at Taylors crossing (Vic, on this patch: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/-36.8418/147.6456) in the 2019/20 summer. No EMS is coming there - and comms are super flaky between Benambra and Corryong - that whole region. A lot of common ground with the linked talk. It makes a lot of sense to spend EMS time mapping things that are relevant for offline use later - IMO far more effective use of funding than infrastructure which then needs protecting to support apps / services which may fail offline. Relevant to this, I'm looking for the next career, I'd be super happy to work on this stuff - and likely back in Au sometime in January 23.
