Sessions
OpenStreetMap has developed with a wiki approach to documenting its tags. Over the years the documentation has grown organically alongside a wealth of other information and projects. Twenty years of often well-meaning edits have led to pages that are sometimes difficult to keep up to date or to serve to mappers looking for assistance. This talk explores where we can go from here and how to get there.
Mobile mapping tools are a great way to build up a map on the ground and many of them can be used with little technical knowledge. This workshop will give you a chance to practice your skills and learn how to use them more effectively.. You will need to bring a smartphone or a tablet.
