Mapping Party

We run mapping parties which are events where anyone can come along, we lend a GPS and show you how to go out and do some mapping and get the data entered into openstreetmap. We have one coming up in Boston (Somerville) February 14th and 15th. They are informal events with no explicit time commitment and often a social element / beer afterward.

Todo Items for Party

Although much of Boston is relatively well mapped, thanks to the imports of data from MassGIS, there are still many types of data that can still be collected. Some potential mapping party targets:

  • Cycle lanes along roads (cycleway=lane)
  • Correcting incorrect one way directions
  • Addresses and address ranges
  • New streets and new construction, or changed street paths
  • Handicapped parking spaces, other similar accessibility concerns
