[Talk-us] It's taken awhile but....

It's taken a couple or years but finally a top mapper has really improved on
some basic mapping I did in Las Vagas. I think they used personnel notes
plus Bing imagery and have really fleshed out Bellagio and quite a lot of
other Casinos. (although Encore is still woefully bad).

That has just decided me to holiday this year, again in Las Vegas (rather
than my planned Queensland trip).   I'll stay first at Mandalay Bay (since
they have a wave pool, and their mapping could use a bit of TLC) then
Encore, so that I can improve that a bit.

Then since Vegas is so close to Denver, I'll register for the SOTM. Are
there any mapping parties near Denver planned just before or just after the
SOTM?
In order to repay Colorado for hosting the SOTM, maybe all registrants could
spend (say) 10 hours pushing Colorado Tiger data around to fit Bing
imagery.   I'll finish off Grand Juction over the next few weeks and on my
way to Denver (from Vegas) I'll map for a couple of days in Grand Junction
to try to map all the new roads.   I've just done a bit more Tiger pushing
and unfortunately it seems that Grand Junction REALLY needs a few months
work from a keen local mapper.

OK - this should  be fun!

Cheers
Nick
