Anyone interested in a map making experiment?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : orienteer kansas : One Thread

I spent a couple of hours this morning wandering around Shawnee Mission Park with some Possum Trot OC mappers -- Nick H., Mark R., Kevin S., and Dick and Nancy N. Mark and I were thinking it might be interesting to get a bunch of people to each map a small area. We could then see what different ways people map the same area.

Mark and I thought it'd be an interesting excercise.

Is anyone interested?

On Monday (2/21) I spent a couple of hours field checking a small portion of Shawnee Mission Park. It is an area that Mark R. is working on. I will definitely try to get out there another time or two and then draw up what I've done. It might be interesting (at least for Mark and I) to compare what we come up with.

yes, I'd be interested. let me know the details.

It is not very clear from my first messages, but the idea is that a bunch of us each map the same small area. So, we are working on the same part of Shawnee Mission Park. That probably is not very practical for Fritz. I think Mary is interested in participating in this experiment, however.

Mary was planning to spend some time mapping at SMP this afternoon. So, it looks like there are three of us doing this mapping experiment. Is anyone else interested?
