OpenSource For You

OSM on paper

-

Apart from the obvious way of exporting the map as an image from the browser for printing, there are better ways to put lSM on paper. lne is FieldPaper­s that lets you print maps and make notes on them, and put them back on the server for later use. Check it out for more features. The project is open source, and you can view the source code on GitHub.

So, the next time you go on a trek, take a print map from lSM with you. Upload the data back to lSM. Click a few geo-tagged photos of awesomenes­s. We should even organise a mapping marathon, or an lSM Day featuring a day-long map-hacking session and a few talks—and have fun at the same time. There are several mapping projects that you can get involved in. If a zombie apocalypse breaks out tomorrow, I have my maps ready. Do you?
