[Talk-us-massachusetts] New MassGIS Trails data

[Peter Cooper Jr.]

So MassGIS just released their newsletter, and there was something in it 
that caught my eye and I thought others might be interested in too. They 
have a comprehensive "Trails" data set available now, which combines 
data from several sources (including OpenStreetMap!) into one place, 
which all is to somehow feed into the system 911 dispatchers use when 
finding people in the wilderness.

I'm not sure how much of this could be used to improve OpenStreetMap, 
but it's neat to see the work I've done mapping some trails end up 
actually being useful to 911 operators.

And have a happy GIS Day tomorrow! https://www.mass.gov/gis-day-2023
