Sorry for the slow reply. OK, would be reviewing be through the
verification process? I believe Pierre sent me instructions for
that, I could look through them again.<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>I did join
the Skype group at Pierre's suggestion but he said no conversations were
scheduled so I signed off. If I get notification of a scheduled
conversation, I will sign on. I only turn on Skype when
needed. But happy to join in.<br><br>

As an experienced pilot, you are welcome to help review these potential
sites. <br><br>
You've been added a couple of days ago to a Skype group on this subject.
But you don't seem to be aware of it. Could you please check your Skype,
and maybe restart it if you don't see anything? (You currently appear as
connected but away - orange icon).<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>

<x-tab> </x-tab>OK, glad
to hear that. From the list of problems and concerns brought forward on
the twitter session earlier, it definitely sounded like accuracy and
consistency of the OSM editing might be suspect. Dragging their photos
around to force the alignment of different features gives me the
willies. What if the next volunteer drags it off in another direction?Â
For me, this is a whole new loose approach to GIS which I have always
thought of as highly disciplined and structured.<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>However,
if your hardcopy printouts are useful to the field crews, that is good.Â
As a new person looking on from the edges and trying a few edits, the
process does look a bit sketchy, but if it works, it works.<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>As a 30+
year helicopter pilot, I did have some concern with the very skimpy
helipad instructions. In high-altitude, rugged terrain there is much
more to locating helipads than finding a 30 m flat square of ground. Is
there any technical oversight by experienced pilots on this task?
<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>I assume
that there are no current maps for this area, just the OSM edits? I did
find some ASM 1950s mapping. Is there nothing newer than that?<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Thank you, Cheers

OSM crowd activity is very successful, speaking from the Canadian Forces
DART deployed on the ground. I've printed so far 300+ hardcopy maps all
made with 100% OSM data for people deployed in remote locations.<br><br>
@OSM Community: Keep up the great work! It's really making a
difference!<br><br>
