[talk-au] Anzacathon and mapping possibilities

[Daniel Pocock]

Hi all,

I've put together an Anzacathon online event and mapping is a big part of it

https://anzacathon.com/

Some of the things that I've done already:

- adding Anzac monuments (e.g. plane crash locations) into OpenStreetMap

- putting links from other sites to the relevant nodes in OpenStreetMap

Now we have two very big tables[1] of map coordinates, these could be
used to detect things that are missing from the maps:

- the full CWGC list of cemeteries (over 20,000 records)

- the Traces of War list of monuments, crashes, battles, etc (over
120,000 records)

If anybody wants to help with the overall Anzacathon or focus on the
mapping aspects of it then you are very welcome to do so.

Regards,

Daniel
