[HOT] Urgent Request - Nepal Earthquake - What data can be shared on the maps?

[Arun Ganesh]

Hey Felix,
The simplest failsafe tool that comes to mind that use the map data we have
put together is fieldpapers: http://fieldpapers.org

You can basically generate A4 sized pdfs of maps for an area of interest.
Field workers can use this to navigate on the ground, and also collect
additional information on the paper including corrections.

These prints can later be scanned and used as a reference by mappers online
to update the map data back on openstreetmap
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=10/28.0029/84.6263> which will become
available to all other map users..
