This is a practical lesson on mapping with Every Door app. The idea for the app is, it's not enough to just map: you should map every single thing you see. So let's train our mapping muscles a bit: it's not a problem that we're inside, treat it as an art class. We will be making art with a map editor. Hopefully nobody would ban us for this haha.
This lesson covers everything important about Every Door, from setting it up to using four mapping modes. You would need two things: your phone, and Every Door app installed on it.
I haven't planned the activities yet, but sitting down for an hour is a bit dull, so maybe we will take a walk around. But on the other hand, outside would be too hot, so we won't be mapping real things. How this would work? I don't know, let's find out together!

Ilya has been mapping OSM for a very long time. His attention span is very short, hence he also has written a lot of tools, including map editors, organized quite a few mapping parties in various countries, and wrote some wiki pages on surveying. He spend his free time either improving his Every Door app, or wandering in the city collecting hundreds of shops and amenities for the map.
