Using

Field Papers...

...with OpenMapKit

...in the field!

Our vests got the press' attention.

Workflow

OpenMapKit

We deploy survey forms to

ODK Collect

 

...and map data to OpenMapKit.

We load a fleet of Android phones with OpenMapKit and ODK Collect.

Map Data

• MBTiles
• OSM XML

ODK Collect

• OpenMapKit is an ODK Collect Plugin
• Created an ODK Collect OpenStreetMap Question 
• Launches into OpenMapKit to edit and gather information.

Select a

building.

(buildings already tagged)

Or you can add a POI.

• shop
• amenity
• leisure
• etc.

You'll see the tags,

and when you

click on one...

You can

edit it!

You edit is actually a JOSM OSM XML edit.

 

It gets sent up to OpenMapKit Server as a standard ODK survey response.

Server

OpenMapKit

It's a standard ODK Aggregate server that

uses the file system as a backend.

It runs well on the POSM and small embedded systems.

Private data stays in OpenMapKit Server.

 

...and your OpenStreetMap

data goes into

You connect to a Wifi HOT Spot.

The POSM is your local intranet.

Running a local OpenStreetMap!

You can edit data as you normally would in iD or JOSM

You just set your

OSM Server URL

to POSM

in JOSM.

We are tapping into the OpenStreetMap ecosystem...

Field Papers are great when technology fails.

• Bright sunlight.
• Non-existent feature.
• Phone is dead or stolen.
• The wrong data got deployed.
• Your developer isn't there to troubleshoot...

Maybe our survey did not include metadata

for tagging a shrimp farm...

Regardless, when you are walking around,

you'll notice many things that merit taking notes...

Sure, the goal here is to edit OpenStreetMap offline...

 

But, what if we used OSM tools, formats, and schema to edit other data?

 

Data that came from other places...

 

Data with a different license?

 

We believe that there is potential in OpenStreetMap beyond the data.
