Lima Mapping Weekend

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 objectives

• To cultivate and encourage OpenStreetMap activities in Perú
• To generate a cartographic ‘event’ in Lima
• Lima mapped by Limeños
• Begin to fill in the huge gaps in coverage of Lima, starting with the city’s historical Pueblo Libre district
• Map points of interest (historical and contemporary), and to trace roads and paths

• This is a work in progress - more details and ideas very soon!!

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.
