<div dir="ltr">Montana, like many western state, need help in rural areas. I have been wondering about an outreach program with local ag extensions, or Future Farmers of America, 4H, Boy Scouts, etc. I attended a small county fair last year. The local Future Farmers did a demo of remote subs they using to map ocean floors. It was part of a NASA (I think) program to get kids interested in science. <div><br></div><div>Clifford</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 6, 2016 at 9:01 AM, Wolfgang Zenker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wolfgang@lyxys.ka.sub.org" target="_blank">wolfgang@lyxys.ka.sub.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">* Clifford Snow <<a href="mailto:clifford@snowandsnow.us">clifford@snowandsnow.us</a>> [160306 16:14]:<br>

</span>Silverlight is a no-go for me as well, I don't think it even exists<br>
for my operating system.<br>

<br>
</span>I will contact them as soon as I'm done with cleaning up TIGER geometries<br>
in the area, because I have a few more questions (e.g. roads that look<br>
a lot like residential roads, but with no name given on TIGER).<br>
Thanks for the contact!<br>

<br>
</span>Well, the user would be myself in this case, and I added these things<br>
as runways because that is what they look like.<br>

<br>
</span>Great, so there are at least a few people in the project familiar<br>
with Montana. I've been there only a few times as a tourist, and I<br>
have been working on cleaning up TIGER geometries for Montana<br>
basically because (almost) no-one else did. My hope is that we<br>
find more mappers if one can start mapping without having to clean<br>
up a lot of broken data first.<br>
