[OSM-talk] Bringing OSM to walkers - countering negative attitudes

[Nick Whitelegg]

Sadly I never seem to get a positive response when I have tried to encourage 
use of firstly Freemap, and then OSM, to walking groups on the Internet. For 
instance on thread.

http://groups.google.com/group/uk.rec.walking/browse_thread/thread/f6b6aac0f12c5566/5f9cfe7b97b20965#5f9cfe7b97b20965

I attempted to tell the uk.rec.walking newsgroup about the planned Lake 
District event, but have got no interest whatsoever.

Am I actually completely deluded about walkers being interested in Free 
mapping? It would surprise me, because my own needs in this area were what 
brought me to this whole Free mapping thing in the first place.

Maybe the Ramblers would be a better channel?
