Note that there will be a mapping party in Sherbrooke city on the same day.
Map Montreal without a GPS
The Yahoo! Aerial Imagery negates the need for a GPS in Montreal. The idea will be to map using the imagery for geometry and going round finding street signs. No GPS required!
The following screenshot shows most of the island and is divided into sectors for coverage by individuals, pairs or groups on each day. Each sector will have a map of the existing OSM coverage and a printout of the Yahoo imagery overlain with the existing data (see illustrations).
