Session Description

OpenStreetMap is the Wikipedia of maps - a geographic database that is freely licensed for everyone to use, study, share, and modify.

OpenStreetMap can be used for search, navigation, analysis, humanitarian missions, games, any situation where you want a 2D/2.5D/3D model of the world, and lots more.

In this workshop, you will learn to use satellite imagery to add roads, buildings, etc to OpenStreetMap from the comfort of your laptop.

New participants will be introduced to a simple editor. Returning participants will be introduced to a power tool. 🙂

Required: laptop

(You can make do with a trackpoint or trackpad, but it's less fun...)
