Project HotSpot within the Inland Empire in Southern California
Pubblicato da The Temecula Mapper il 24 novembre 2010 in English.In response to Project HotSpot (well, not really; the job started beforehand), details were added to a couple of the Inland Empire's tourist attractions and a small family fun center:
Old Town Temecula:
OSM: osm.org/?lat=33.49372&lon=-117.14813&zoom=17&layers=M
Mapquest: http://mapq.st/h/6-m90p
Pechanga Resort & Casino:
OSM: osm.org/?lat=33.455877&lon=-117.105734&zoom=18&layers=M

Mulligan Family Fun Center:
OSM: osm.org/?lat=33.559504&lon=-117.201102&zoom=18&layers=M

Obviously, much more work still needs to be done along the surrounding areas.

How do you contribute? To me this sounded that it is dedicated to the local communities only, right?

You can easily map using satellite images, but it also needs local input on things like street names and such.

My diary post is centered around the OSM Project of the Week: Project HotSpot, but more at the local level in lieu of the top 10 vacation spots. One of the points of HotSpot is: Can OSM have more detailed maps of tourism locations than MapQuest?
@!i! Local knowledge combined with pen-and-paper surveys with the help of Yahoo! images and existing OSM map data to line up the vector artwork. I normally print the Yahoo! images and the existing OSM data to serve as a starting point to record map features, using a pen and paper.
@liftarn No doubt about it; the Yahoo! images certainly helped, but the local businesses, their names, attractions, and other amenitites had to be locally surveyed. If you browse around Temecula on OSM, you'll notice that I still have some surveying to do :)
