Fin de Semana de Mapeo en Lima

Mapping party

Mapping parties are events where anyone can come and participate in the OpenStreetMap project. OpenStreetMap is a free, open source map that can be contributed, edited and used by anyone anywhere. Mapping parties are social events where experienced and new mappers can meet to share and learn more about the project. The events are generally held in a public place, and allow time for discussion, mapping and editing. The event is open to all.

It's fun. It's free. You can help.

Mapping Party Suggestions

Please feel free to suggest locations and goals for this mapping event as well as future events. We would particularly encourage mapping new developments in Lima such as the city’s recently built mass-transit system, the Metropolitano. It might also be interesting to think about how we could map pueblos jovenes on the outskirts of Lima, such as Manchay.
