Hi all, I visited Chester Zoo a few weeks back, took my GPS, and spent an exhausting few hours walking along every path (as well as looking at a few of the animals).
Using a combination of the GPS traces and the Yahoo satellite photography, I've tried to add as much detail to the map as possible: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.2258&lon=-2.88111&zoom=17 It's not 'complete', but I think I've done as much as I can without returning to do some more detailed surveying. Would appreciate any feedback (on the tagging or the geometry). There's some interesting use of tags, including animal=* (which was discussed on the main mailing list a few months back, but which I don't think has even been formally proposed), as well as natural=mud for the elephant enclosure (it's not natural, but it's definitely muddy), and a mixture of islands, navigable and non-navigable canals. I have a contact who works at the zoo, so I'm aiming to get the map as complete as possible, and then to send them a colour print of it as a gift. So, any help would be gratefully received! Frankie P.S The zoo is a great place to visit, if anyone fancies a day out... Don't miss the baby giraffe! -- Frankie Roberto
