[HOT] Invitation to Map & Chat hour - Feb 25, 2022

[Awantika Pal]

Greetings from the Asia Pacific Hub!

We hope you are keeping well in health as well as your spirits.

As you might know, last year the Open Mapping Hub - Asia Pacific launched
monthly Map and Chat hour sessions where mappers - both new and old came
together to map, chat, network, and have fun! We had the pleasure of
hosting five sessions with over 500 participants last year.

We are delighted to share that we are back again! We will be hosting our
first Map and Chat of the year 2022

have several exciting segments in the session such as

   -

from Feb 19 - Feb 23! All you need to do is map any amenities, shops, and
places in your community and save your edits with the required hashtag. TWO
lucky winners will get BEGINNER DRONES and we are also giving away
consolation swag packs! The winners will be announced in the Map and Chat
hour session as well. To register for the challenge, you can do so until

We are certain the session is going to be a great opportunity for us all to
learn and enjoy with our fellow mappers, and therefore would like to invite
you to join us on Feb 25 for a variety of activities to map, learn, and
have fun with mappers all across the region! You can register now at
