[OSM-talk-be] Again some basic question + interest poll mapping party Turnhout

[Chris Van Bael]

Hi,

still very new here and again some questions:

1) Which easy available logging device below 100-150 euros could you recommend?
Below 100 euros I would only expect logging functionality, but with
easy use and decent accuracy and quality.

2) What is the division of time for adding new roads?
The beginners guide on the wiki talks about gather data, upload data,
edit maps, edit data, render maps.
Now the last step is optional if I understood correct, OSM will take
care of it automatically once I upload the data.
Edit Data can be as time consuming as I want depending on how much
detail I'd like to provide. (bus stops, bike tracks, other POI)
But how much time would I need to add a basic road with only the street name?

Say I walk or bycicle around in my city, continuously logging data for one hour.
How long would I be editing the maps? 5 minutes, half an hour, an hour, 3 hours?
Just small roads and streetname, no extra detail.

3) Who would be interested in a logging party in Turnhout?
Maybe I can organize one, but I would need to know how many
participants would come.
If there are only a few participants, we could my house and internet
connection (5km from centre of Turnhout)
Otherwise it would become a bit more difficult to find a venue.

Thanks for the help,

Chris
