Adding Paddington POIs to OpenStreetMap.org September 29, 2009

It's nearly the end of mapping season! The sun's getting lower in the sky after work each day, but there's still time to gather a little more information around the streets of London to put onto OpenStreetMap. Why not join us?

OpenStreetMap is an editable map of the whole world, which is being built largely from scratch by the community and released with an open content license.

This Tuesday we'll be aiming to gather some POI data around Paddingtton area, before meeting in the pub! It is open to everyone whether you are already an active member of the openstreetmap community or just curious to find out more about the project. Have a go at mapping (e.g. with a pencil & a printout), or just come along and join us in the pub!

We're meeting in the pub at around 7:30pm. Newcomers welcome! When you arrive in the pub look out for people with GPS units/ maps. Also make a note of this: Contact: Harry Wood 07979815013

We'll be arriving in the area at around 6:30 to do a quick bit of mapping. If you're interested in joining in with that, check the details on the wiki page
