Hi folks,

Yesterday I was told this project and thought it might appeal to some
here.

The Open Street Map project; see http://www.openstreetmap.org/ is
basically an attempt to map the world using volunteers with GPS systems.
The end result being that a global map with a creative commons license
for all.

As we cover an area which is largely unmapped I wondered if we might as
a group do something to help fill some blanks.  What do you think?

If nothing else, it's pretty geeky and an excuse to meet up.

Toodle pip,

Al
