Natural mapping challenge

Posted by Mapping Expert on 17 April 2020 in English.

Hello everyone. It is a great pleasure to greet you and I wish you all the best in the current situation.

Since we all probably have a little more time to map, I was thinking of developing a challenge to further develop natural mapping.

Sometimes when mapping we focus on urban and (I can say rural) aspects, but we forget about natural features, which are essential when mapping. In other cases we only label them without any detail or we use it only as filler.

But natural mapping should be more than that (since it is essential when developing any map), which is why I propose creating a challenge where all users can compete to develop the best natural mapping.

Please stop before we start reading some of the challenge guidelines:

  1. Only map natural features in your territory / state / region. Ask your neighbors if it is possible to do combined features (although this option would be a bit more realistic).
  2. It is up to you to decide which tag to use for natural characteristics. I recommend that a zonal standard can be established.
  3. There is no minimum size to map the natural characteristics, just use your creativity and create something realistic and eye-catching. But it is recommended that it be at least of a medium size, so that it can be appreciated correctly.
  4. When you’re done mapping it, please share it with the community, commenting a link below to appreciate its creation.

I leave to the community the decision to choose any other aspect related to the challenge.
