First ever mapping party

The Isle of Wight was the location of the first OSM worskshop, Isle of Wight workshop 2006.

Mapping Status

We have mapped the Island extensively.

All surfaced roads are now believed to have been mapped based on ground survey.

A large number of footpaths and bridleways have been mapped using a combination of survey and tracing from NPE maps (note NPE maps do not distinguish between footpaths & bridleways so these have all been tagged as footpath, with a note as to their source and possibility of them being bridleways), and OS Provisional/First_Edition maps.

Public Transport

Main article: Public transport on the Isle of Wight

The island's self-contained nature makes it easy to distinguish services that are relevant, and one example of this is public transport. As of November 2009, a concerted effort is being made to add all the public transport services on and to the island. The current status of this effort can be seen in these tables.

Walking Routes

There are a number of walking trails on the island. Though most of the footpaths / bridleways have probably been included in OSM through tracing from out of date Ordnance Survey maps, these paths have yet to be added to walking route relations.
