[Talk-us] Proposed mapping party

[Nick Hocking]

Hi all,
I am proposing the worlds first PIMP   (Proxy Individual Mapping Party).
How it goes would be like this.  Once I have finished turning Grand Junction
from red to green (in about 1 week), then lots of you (from all over the
world) could check what OSM has against all possible mapping sources (both
maps and imagery).

Where there are any differences or omissions or just confusions then we
could make a list of these locations. I would then plan a route (on my
latest favourite sat-nav device) to visit all these locations.  Then I would
(either by myself in a car or with another passenger/geo-photographer) map
all the differences that I/we can in two days.
Once entered into OSm then OSM/Grand junction would be pretty much usable
for tourists etc. I'd leave POI's for others to do, I'm only interested in
roads their names and any turn restrictions. Maybe keen eyed people could
spot one way roads than I/we could check on.
Since I'd be in a rental car. I'd best restrict myself to just paved roads.

Cheers
Nick
