<br>
<br>
I need some guidance from the assembled wisdom, concerning hiking
<br>
routes, information-maps and signposts.
<br>
<br>
I got involved with a nature park in Germany, which wants to start
an
<br>
initiative to collect all existing local hiking routes (230) in
the area
<br>
(ca. 1600 km), and produce orientation maps (ca. 100) in
collaboration
<br>
with max. 40 municipalities.
<br>
<br>
So they ask me about what kind of database they should use to work
on
<br>
this topic with QGIS and with the system of a specialized company.
<br>
I got not much information till now, but from what I see so far,
there
<br>
is no need to keep a special database on those routes as all could
be
<br>
planted into OSM and that they do not need to buy themselves in a
<br>
locked-up proprietary system.
<br>
<br>
The big question is now, what is the most elegant way for those
not very
<br>
tecky people to import/export the data of "their" routes and
"their"
<br>
orientation maps and signposts when I'm not around?
<br>
The merits I earned with OSM so far is buying a book in 2013 and
<br>
digitizing some meadows around my village and using some data in
QGIS,
<br>
but I already started to investigate the wiki for clever usage of
tags etc.
<br>
<br>
So, what do you think? Should I start the fight for the usage of
OSM and
<br>
against that proprietary stuff or should I stay calm, take the
money and
<br>
let them do what seems to be the easy way?
<br>
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
Bernd
<br>
<br>
p.s. As a background map for their routes, they would like to have
<br>
OpenTopoMap ;)
