Paper mapping of building outlines + Mapping tonight
Posted by Harry Wood on 15 September 2010 in English.In my last post about the mapping Party in Holborn, I forgot to mention one thing. The mapping! I was mapping some building details again (it's a priority area). Here's my paper mapping. This is corrections I was making to building outlines which I had sketched in earlier from Yahoo! imagery.
If there's one thing more satisfying than seeing your work appear on the map, it's seeing several people's work appearing on the map after a mapping party. I'm still in the habit of uploading stuff and then forgetting about it, ingrained back in the day when you used to have to wait for the weekly rendering cycle to see your changes. So I hadn't bothered to look back here until just recently. The bit of building detail I was working on is here, and you can see other people's stuff appearing alongside. In particular there's User:Kachkaev's details of Red Lion square.


More Mapping Tonight!
If you fancy a bit of uber-detailed mapping, we're heading to Waterloo/South Bank area tonight. If you don't fancy it, well just proceed directly to the pub! There's a couple of new folk coming along, and I'll be showing them what kind of mapping I do from 6:45 onwards. If you'd like that kind of demonstration, you're welcome to join us. Get in touch.
As usual, all the details are on the wiki page. Most of us will be meeting in the pub (The Mulberry Bush) at 8p.m.

This is realy cool!
I never thought about mapping buildings that way. I just used walking-papers.org for housenumbers mapping.
