<br>
Now that Pokémon Go[1] is gaining popularity, people in general will<br>
spend more time outside walking around with their phone in hand (and<br>
some with mobile USB chargers). I'm wondering if there might be<br>
opportunities for OpenStreetMap to utilise that activity to encourage<br>
the gamers to collect (non-infringing) data for OSM while they're<br>
playing the game anyway.<br>
<br>
I'm not claiming I have any specific ideas at this point. Just wanted to<br>
bring this point forward.<br>
