[OSM-newbies] School Campus

[Mike N.]

Yes, this is a very good idea; you know the layout of the school grounds, so 
much of it can be created from aerial imagery if it is available in your 
area.  The only thing OSM can't easily accommodate would be maps of the 
building interiors.

   If there are things not visible due to tree cover, and if you can borrow 
or find someone with a GPS or GPS-enabled phone, you can get even more 
details of sidewalks, etc.   However, the standard auto navigation -  Garmin 
GPS for example, is not easy to use for mapping purposes.

   If you have any other questions, just post them here.
