[Talk-us] USBRS in OSM is now version 2.1

[stevea]

I am delighted at the fantastic teamwork that has made USBRS in OSM [1] as up-to-date as it is.  And less than a week after the Adventure Cycling Association published a Press Release announcing the Spring 2021 AASHTO round of ballots has completed, with 18, 19 or 20 routes (depending on how you count — ALL of the proposals) being approved.

OSM has one more route yet to enter (and so is "yellow" in our wiki, all the rest are green), with a link to the route map and turn-by-turn instructions for those "last 120 miles" of USBR 235 in Indiana.  What an awesome round!

Lots of us took opportunities to enter data, learn new skills, contribute wiki, draw graphics, double-check, make improvements to our process and even widen our circle to include more volunteer Contributors making both a great project and a great map.  Who can ask for more than that?  Go, OSM!

See you for the Autumn round,
SteveA
