What are the PoliMappers Adventures?

PoliMappers is going to publish on its social media channels ( polimappers,  @PoliMappers) and on our telegram channel PoliMappersAdventures a simple challenge everyday for the entire month of December 2019, with the purpose of contributing to OpenStreetMap while having fun. The idea is inspired by the traditional Advent calendar.

How to participate?

1. Follow us on our social media channels.
2. Read the instructions for the challenge of the day.
3. Important: add #polimappersadventures in your changeset comment when you modify the OpenStreetMap database. (If you are a member of PoliMappers, please add also the hashtags #youthmappers #polimappers).

FAQ

Do I have to participate in all the activities?

It is not mandatory to participate everyday. ;-)

Can I track changesets made with hastag #polimappersadventures ?

Yes!

• You can use OSMCha to review them : #polimappersadventures
• You can display them on a map: http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-changesets?comment=polimappersadventures

Note: this map can show changesets only for the last 30 days. So maybe, we will need to do screenshot of it before december 31.
