Hi Russ,

Thanks for getting in touch!

Yes it would be great to build connectivity between FP and TM. I think there’s quite a few people thinking about this in London (e.g. Pete Masters who you probably know). I’m not a coder unfortunately and since I’m finishing off a PhD I don’t really have time to learn at the moment, but I’d be more than happy to help with top-level design and then testing/feedback! I could try it out at the mapathons and get some independent feedback too.

There’s already a LearnOSM Field Papers tutorial - were you thinking of expanding on it, or writing one specifically for field papers from developing countries?

Thanks!

Hi Rupert,

Yes that sounds fine. I’ll adjust the maps accordingly.

“I think it may be good to let those who want to just tag the houses and leave the boundaries.”

So just to clarify, we’re now not creating the areas and relations, but are just going to put the addresses on certain houses? I’m happy to alter my technique to this if it is better. I’ve already had a complaint from a German mapper that our technique isn’t very good (changeset/32029260) .

Also, is the subdistrict, which is a alphabetic letter, the same as those on the .gpx grid?

Although I don’t have any more printed out sheets I’m happy to print some out myself and do them - let me know which ones and I’ll try to do some soon.

Cheers,

Tom
