[OSM-newbies] School Campus

[Karl]

I already have a GPS unit. Garmin Vista Hcx as I'm a prolific geocacher.

It's not for building interiors, it's more for the school grounds, 
especially for newer pupils to find their way around outside, as well as 
for parents to find their way on parents evenings ect.

Thanks Karl
