Open Street Map

I learn about something new every day! Let me share today's discovery
with you:-

https://www.openstreetmap.org/about

OpenStreetMap powers map data on thousands of web sites, mobile apps,
and hardware devices

OpenStreetMap is built by a community of mappers that contribute and
maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much
more, all over the world.

Local Knowledge

OpenStreetMap emphasises local knowledge. Contributors use aerial
imagery, GPS devices, and low-tech field maps to verify that OSM is
accurate and up to date.

Community Driven

OpenStreetMap's community is diverse, passionate, and growing every day.
Our contributors include enthusiast mappers, GIS professionals,
engineers running the OSM servers, humanitarians mapping
disaster-affected areas, and many more. To learn more about the
community, see the OpenStreetMap Blog, user diaries, community blogs,
and the OSM Foundation website.

Open Data

OpenStreetMap is open data: you are free to use it for any purpose as
long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors. If you alter or
build upon the data in certain ways, you may distribute the result only
under the same licence. See the Copyright and Licence page for details.

Hi Ray - can you tell me more about how you do that - and if you use it
'in the field' as it were?

I'm sharing this thread with *my* group too. Some folk reading there may
benefit from your answer and the link.

Ask BD what a "USB GPS dongle on a Raspberry Pi" is.
(I know)


....can you tell me more about how you do that

Why don't you look it up and tell us what you learned? IN YOUR
OWN WORDS. If you have trouble focusing on some of the words, ask.

No links necessary.
And please, if you must talk to yourself, don't do it on
Usenet.

BD: I want people to "get to know me better. I have nothing to
hide".
I'm always here to help, this page was put up at BD's request,
rather, he said "Do it *NOW*!":

Raspberry Pi - any model. Install raspbian (from raspberrypi.org). Cheap
USB GPS from amazon. FoxtrotGPS software.
It will go in the field powered by USB battery pack.
