What do we do with OSM?

Find things to do outside?

Map things to do outside?

Are we making park maps and apps?

For a government? City, State, Fed?

For a non-profit?

For a company?

For fun?

It’s sooooo awesome to be here!

I’m Jereme Monteau from Oakland, CA.

It’s my first time at SOTMUS!

I like to find and map parks and trails in OSM.

I’m creating a platform park maps.

OpenTrails Zooms In On Parks

“The primary use case served by OpenTrails is the provision of officially-sanctioned information from many agencies to a common or overlapping audience of the visiting public.”

Open Trail System Specification

“To promote further use of the data, OpenTrails is crafted with use by a number of related specifications and applications in mind, including OpenStreetMap.”

Existing Trail Standards and Data Stores

Federal Trail Data Standard - USFS

PRORAGIS - NRPA

ESRI - Shapefiles, Geodatabases, Arc

OSM - Nodes, Ways, Relations, Tags
