[Talk-GB] Mapping from a survey

[Mark Goodge]

I want to map something that's not yet visible on the aerial view, and 
probably won't be for a while. I could do something which approximates 
to the right positioning of the various ways that I'll need to add, and 
then update them later when the imagery is available.

It is, however, readily accessible on foot (in fact, I was walking 
around it yesterday!). So I thought a more reliable way might be to 
survey it on foot and then add that data.

For reference, the area I want to map is a new cemetery, allotments and 
community orchard near me. I've already added the outline based on 
existing field boundaries:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/966223049

However, the internal construction is now complete and both the 
allotments and cemetery are in use. So I'd like to map the landuse 
allocated to allotments, cemetery, orchards and parking as well as the 
internal service roads serving the cemetery and allotments.

Can anyone suggest a good way to go about that? I've never mapped from a 
survey before, and I don't really know what the process is. Are there 
apps for a phone which I can use to trace lines that I can then transfer 
to OSM later?
