User Group

Martijn van Exel founded a local User Group in September, 2011: OSMSLUG or the OpenStreetMap Salt Lake User Group. There is no regular meeting date and time until the group gains some momentum. For now, look at the OSMSLUG web site for upcoming events.

If you are actively mapping in the Salt Lake City area or if you live in the area and are interested in OpenStreetMap, go to the web site and join the User Group and you'll automatically be notified of new events.

Imports

Local data import opportunities

• Utah State GIS resources - in particular the data available for download.

TIGER and GNIS

Much of the existing data comes from the TIGER and GNIS imports. Both datasets suffer from being significantly out-of-alignment from reality. If you see an object that doesn't match up with where it should be, feel free to adjust it into line or redraw it in a more accurate location. The Yahoo imagery and GPS tracks tend to be accurate. TIGER data in the outer metropolitan areas is better aligned than that in the inner city.

Cleaning Up Area

I few notes on some large scale changes I have been doing:

1. I have reclassified many of the Salt Lake City roads so they make sense. See: User:Kevina/Salt Lake City Highway Classification. Many areas can still use some work. Please help but first read: United States Road Classification Guidelines
2. I ran a script to clean up the street names. See: User:Kevina/Salt Lake Grid Cleanup Script. There is still more work to do here.

What Can You Do?
