Some photos from a municipality in the #Philippines, who's been using #FieldPapers for their #DisasterPreparedness activities, involving various stakeholders, and utilizing aerial images from their own drones.
The data they collect will eventually be uploaded to #OpenStreetMap
The @pinoy @OSM—PH communities in #Manila , #Philippines got together last Sunday, for a field mapping party ("AlayData"), celebrate #OpenDataDay, and got to play with the #SCEE app (a fork of #StreetComplete) and #FieldPapers , while another team opted to collect ground level photos for #Panoramax.
While most of the folks have experience with #OpenStreetMap mapping, we had a couple of novice participants, who seemed to have enjoyed it as much as we did.
We ought to do this more often.
reThe #StreetComplete fork called SCEE, for "experienced editors" supports custom tile layers.
Though there's a bug on the UI that refers to the custom layer by it's default name. Otherwise, it works.
See attached screenshot of the #SCEE app, with a #FieldPapers tile as background.
Met some farmers yesterday to get information about mass paths. Result: 4 more mass paths leading to Freshford:

After preparing the #fieldpapers and conducting the #hedgerow survey in the field, in this video, I'm transferring the data onto #OpenStreetMap: https://youtu.be/7U_dUC2TmdM #OpenData #biodiversity #wikidata
2nd part of the hedgerow video series is now finally available. Sorry about the shakiness, my gimbal doesn't do a great job: https://youtu.be/x1tFQLjqPbk

This week we're at the @OpenStreetMapUS State of Map US conference! We've got four great presentations lined up about Full Stack Cartography, Field Papers, Vector Tile Engineering, and our recent work designing basemaps for Amazon Location Services! Read our blog post for more about these talks: https://stamen.com/stamen-at-state-of-the-map/ #OpenStreetMap #StateOfTheMap #SOTMUS #cartography #FieldPapers
If you've been using #OpenStreetMap for a while, you might have heard of the tool called #FieldPapers, which lets mappers collect geodata the old school, low-tech way -- pen and paper.
It's easy to use, and requires very little training
The smart folks at @heigit improved on that idea with their new #SketchMap tool
In case you missed the announcement: We're excited to transition the Field Papers project into the stewardship of @OpenStreetMapUS for the ongoing benefit of the #OpenStreetMap community at large. After 11 years and more than 3 million maps, we're looking forward to seeing #FieldPapers continue to thrive under new management! https://stamen.com/a-new-home-for-field-papers/
Great news for #OpenStreetMap: the Field Papers project has been adopted into the suite of tools that @OpenStreetMapUS supports for the benefit of the larger OSM community. For over 11 years, Stamen has led and supported the development and maintenance of this important #OpenSource tool, and we're more than excited to transition it into the capable hands of the OpenStreetMap US organization. https://stamen.com/a-new-home-for-field-papers/ #FieldPapers
Had a walk over to Toolstation to buy a "1ohm wire-wound 25W resistor" earlier, so printed out some #fieldpapers to do some mapping of the Fabric District en route, as prep for my mapping workshop with #TakingRoot

While mapping a random neighborhood in Leyte, #Philippines on #OpenStreetMap, I stumbled on these detailed drainage maps.
I got curious and left a comment in the changeset, wondering how they're being used.
The team behind the effort apparently published a paper about it last year, with Open data and software (#OpenStreetMap, #FieldPapers, #QGIS) : "An Open Data Approach to Mapping Urban Drainage Infrastructure in Developing Communities"
