Name: Winter 2022 OpenStreetMap Map-A-Thon
Start: 2022-12-14T19:00:00-07:00
End: 2022-12-14T21:00:00-07:00

OpenStreetMap can be described as the Wikipedia of maps. The data is used for everything from Pokemon Go to everyday navigation and use by organizations like the National Park Service official maps and even Bing Maps.

This virtual meetup will provide a quick overview of OSM and how to very quickly import in missing building traces and National Address Database address info using RapiD in a browser as well as how to easily map in the field. The primary goal of this map-a-thon is to continue to fill out the Maricopa County buildings and addresses, but folk are free to edit whatever and wherever they're most interested in.

We'll be using Jitsi, an open source and privacy respecting Zoom-like for this virtual meetup: https://meet.jit.si/PHXGeo2022Q4Mapathon

Feel free to suggest your ideas to help make this reoccurring event more of something you and others want to go to.
