Openstreetmap@GeoKur

Geocachers "logging" a car

Tomorrow a geocaching event called GeoKur will take place at Bad Herrenalb, Black Forest, Germany. At the Kurhaus, the central facility, we will man a booth to provide first hand information about openstreetmap to the 600+ attendees.

This evening, there was a nice barbecue party at the Hirschwinkel shelter near Bad Herrenalb, where we helped the first people to solve problems using osm data.

A rather interesting experience was to observe geocachers “logging” a car by scribing their nicknames into its surface. I always knew there are human beings with strange hobbies, but until a couple of hours before I thought mapping for osm was the most strange :) .
