Sessions
The workshop is designed for beginner to intermediate mappers to better understand good practices and useful tools while performing data validation on OSM.
During the session it will be presented how to discover and interact with mappers in the area to be validated, as well as how to use JOSM plugins and web tools as ResultMaps, Osmose, Whodidit and OSMCha to analyze errors and changesets.
Participants are requested to bring their laptops and mouses to practice together. Basic understanding of JOSM is welcome but not necessary
