[Talk-ee] Gargae48 hackathon at TTU 28th November

[Jaak Laineste]

Hi,

Great idea. Without doubt Manuel is the greatest technical expert in OSM, routing [1] and even wheelchair mapping in Estonia. He should be in the talk-ee list, just to be sure he gets your message I’m cc-ing him separately also.

I.e. the ability to plan street routes from point to point in Tallinn (anywhere eventually but let’s start with a realistic target!) that are specifically planned to follow wheelchair friendly routes, dropped kerbs, easy to navigate road junctions, accessible bus and trolley stops etc.

> To create this app will require mapping/routing experts who have the knowledge and skills required to use OSM data to create route plans.
