The OpenStreetmap.org project is coming to Rochester this weekend. We'll be improving the map of Rochester and we would love to have your help. Basic road and neighborhood data is in place, but we'd like to add bike routes, exercise trails, interesting businesses, favorite pubs, whatever is important to Rochester bikers.
We'll have in introduction to OpenStreetMap and tips on how to collect and contribute data to OpenStreetMap. Those who want to read ahead of the class can have a look at the Beginners' Guide http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide Details of the Rochester Mapping Party are being completed now. We're doing this on short notice to take advantage of a happy scheduling coincidence. Watch for details here. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Rochester_Mapping_Party Bring your GPS if you have one. Bring a spare to share if you have one (We'll have a few spares too). There is no charge to participate! And it is sure to be fun! Best regards, Richard. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-us
