OSM Field Mapping: Ford City

With the return of warm weather comes the return of everyone’s favourite OSM activity – Field Mapping!

Come with us as we wander along the streets of Ford City tagging benches, trees, potholes, and more. These interactive outdoor sessions are beginner-friendly and help to improve the data that runs apps like Strava, Pokemon Go!, and Apple Maps.

Requirements for participation:

• A mobile device with a data plan
• A free OpenStreetMap account
• The StreetComplete or Every Door app
• Whatever the weather dictates you need for comfort (hat, sunglasses, waterbottle, etc.)

Meet at Whelpton Park (corner of Drouillard and Whelpton) for introductions and demos, then explore the neighbourhood with friends old and new!
