[Talk-GB] Fwd: OSM UK: Height data, cameras, apps and our AGM

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi all,

The latest OSM UK newsletter went out today and includes news about our 360
degree camera rental and our request for your help to help us prioritise
features to include in our photos & notes app. Other news had already been
reported on talk-gb.

New year resolution to get more involved with OSM UK? Great - drop us an
email as we are here to help you get up and running.

Best regards,
*Rob*

Building height data We are delighted to let you know that we have received
permission to use the Emu Analytics' English Urban Areas Building Heights

in OSM. This uses rough building shapes so only add the height data not the
building outlines. For complex building shapes the height data may not be
accurate.
Consultation: App features As previously noted we plan to build an app that
makes it easy to collect photos and notes whilst out and about. We are
currently consulting on which features to prioritise. Add your vote here

(requires a free Loomio account)
360 degree camera 360 degree cameras are a great way to collect photos to
help add data to OpenStreetMap. We have purchased an LG 360 camera that is
now available to rent to OSM UK members. To rent the camera please see here
