What: OpenStreetMap Vancouver Island Mappers Group Launch Meetup When: November 4, 2009 4:00 PM Where: Central Library 735 Broughton Street Victoria , BC V8N 1A1 Welcome VI Spine Trail (VISTA) members! The purpose of this meetup is to learn the basics of how you can get from having your GPS Tracks and waypoints already on your GPS Device. We will work with you step-by-step, and take as long as we need so to show you how get from A to B. and even to C (where you can share your tracks with different websites like gpsies.com & wandermap.net) and create your own favorite route that you recommend. So maybe, (if your lucky) the route that you have already hiked, could become part of the Vancouver Island Spine Trail. ... but we wont know for certain until VISTA releases the "official Proposed Temporary Route" (which i happen to be also working directly on) Please bring your GPS Device (if you have one) if not, we can print off a paper map to start with. (we'll probably do that anyway) Depending on who shows up, from beginner to advanced will set the stage for what we do. We all work together, and learn from each other, so it'll be a great day! I'll go over the latest status for OpenStreetMap Vancouver Island, so were all up-to-date. And happy to answer any questions you may have. If others are there who can answer it better, thats even better. Its an informal gathering, and we can arrange a time/place to meet-up after were done. (ie the serious coffee out close (north of) to the Bay Center) http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.42613&lon=-123.36629&zoom=17&layers=0B00FTF Learn more here: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Vancouver-Island-Mappers/calendar/11631455/ Look forward to seeing everyone there, Cheers, Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails -- This message was sent by Sam Vekemans ([email protected]) from OpenStreetMap Vancouver Island Mappers.
