PUPSJ CWTS++ Kaart Internship: Week 1

Posted by paduhh on 10 May 2019 in English. Last updated on 17 May 2019.

Its has been more than a month since I had my last CWTS++ meeting at school and I can barely recall the few basics that I know in mapping. Since it was the first week and in tradition as a student I usually forget the lessons that had been taught to me by my director.

This week I mainly use JOSM which I oftenly utilise as an instrument for mapping for areas. I mostly used ID for roads because JOSM was like an unfamiliar territory to me .It was really technical as for me even until now the lessons still has not sink in properly. I learn a lot of things which includes roads that are logically near/ around a house or community. Also had been introduce to a few new plug-ins, tools, layers. Even the mapping techniques on how to approach a image was new and requires analysing the imagery. And I basically learned how to create/edit a line on somehow exactly in the middle of the road from the imagery and I had encounter new errors that are not in my capability of solving alone.

By now I am expecting myself to have like an intermediate level after this internship or something related to a higher level. I had learn that accuracy must be consistent in obtaining trust in one’s work , by that your body of work reflects you as a mapper.
