You know what I mean. This would be a Mapping Party method. Why
loan out GPS hardware?
OK, Android, too. Best GPS-phone-enabled app to absorb a decent
Mapping Party wander and upload to a laptop. (Something like
GPSBabel, but streamlined for GPS-phone-to-laptop, could be a USB
cable, could be Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, there are lots of possibilities).
Upload to OSM directly (also) from the phone app is OK, too. The
idea here is to do an iD walkthrough (on a laptop, at a Mapping
Party) as a teaching moment. Uploading a GPX track is one thing.
Editing the map with iD and good tags and smart data entry is much
more. We have the time and patience to share what we know with
others (we also have newer tools, like smartphones running newer OS
versions). We want these new OSM volunteers to soar and fly. So
let's conversation-streamline some smartphone-to-OSM_Editor
solutions. Anybody?
I figure I'll just start talking about this here. You never know who
is reading and might think "good idea, I might listen in on that
thread." Or even throw in two cents.
Thanks,
