Very cool. It doesn’t seem like a good fit for this current project, though, as the lack of a Tasking Manager to control the workflow would make georeferencing and tracing ~175 maps a bit chaotic. That said, the ability to import batch import control points and images is awesome – and would be great for projects with a smaller number of maps and participants. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>-s</div><div><br></div><div><div><p style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font color="#d6d6d6">—</font></p><p style="font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font color="#919191"><b><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Proxima Nova';">Sanjay Seth</span></b><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: 'Proxima Nova';"> </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Proxima Nova';">| Research Analyst </span></font></p><p style="font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Proxima Nova'; font-size: 13px;"><font color="#919191">Regional Plan Association</font></span></p><p style="font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: 'Proxima Nova';"><font color="#919191">(917) 546-4327 | rpa.org</font></span></span></p></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-family: 'Proxima Nova';"><font color="#919191"><br></font></span></span></div></div></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="font-family:Calibri; font-size:11pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Tim Waters <<a href="mailto:chippy2005@gmail.com">chippy2005@gmail.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Tue, 3 Nov 2015 08:05:32 -0500<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> Sanjay Seth <<a href="mailto:sanjay@rpa.org">sanjay@rpa.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Cc: </span> Albin Larsson <<a href="mailto:albin.post@gmail.com">albin.post@gmail.com</a>>, "<a href="mailto:Historic@openstreetmap.org">Historic@openstreetmap.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:historic@openstreetmap.org">historic@openstreetmap.org</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> Re: [OHM] Building Infrastructure for OHM RPA Historic Wetland Mapping<br></div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Ahh yes, sorry, currently there are no plans for batch imports of maps for public users. <br><br>Organisations with hundreds or thousands of images tend to run their own warper instance and connect it up to their repository and metadata services, as everyone keeps their images and the data about the images in different formats etc. An example from the US Govt - <a href="http://warp.nepanode.anl.gov/">http://warp.nepanode.anl.gov/</a> by the DoE / NEPA<br><br></div>One solution we are building for public organisations and their old maps is to add them to Wikimedia Commons and then import an entire Wiki Category into the Wikimaps Warper.

I was thinking more about batch import of maps, rather than control points.<br><br>
I've had a chance to play around with it a bit and was getting some of
the distortion you mentioned, which is likely unavoidable. I'm going to
test the same map in ArcGIS and in MapWarper – I have a feeling I will
get a similar amount of distortion in each. Some of it may come down to
adding points to adjust the map by eye.</div></div></div></div></div><br><p> </p><hr><p>This email has been scanned for spam and viruses by Proofpoint Essentials cloud email security - click <a href="https://us1.proofpointessentials.com/index01.php?mod_id=11&mod_option=logitem&mid=772053975&rid=48209320&report=1">here</a> to report this email as spam.</p><br></span></body></html>
