Mapping party
Join us for the first annual Laramie Mapping Party to celebrate the 15th anniversary celebration of the Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center!
Learn how to use a GPS - or bring your own - and collect points of interest for our community. We'll help you add them to OpenStreetMap (www.openstreetmap.org), a free editable map of the world.
There will be free food, refreshments and prizes!
