Dear garmin maps maker, some may have noticed it. We are planning a Garmin OSM Hack Weekend [1]. The aim is to bring together the makers of Garminmaps and implement two ideas: - A landing page for absolute beginners describes the use of existing Garminmaps, allows a choice and is being maintained - A map generator that allows anyone to create custom maps with different styles and regions. Through this service, we want to make the OSM maps with cyclists and hikers known and we hope to attract new mapper. Participants should thus produce either already own garminmaps or have desire to work on the landing page and the map generator. Steve Ratcliffe already committed and I hope that you, too, to the date the time and inclination. 1.2.-03.02.2013 at Linuxhotel Essen [2] The Linux Located on the edge of Essen in a lovely private park ◦ We will stay in a double or single room ◦ we can work in 3 seminar rooms ◦ The "fireplace" is used as a breakfast room, and for the social round ◦ Open WiFi on the whole site ◦ breakfast, bed and drinks for the whole day are included in the price Thanks to the support [3] by the FOSSGIS eV amount the participant cost for the three days (ie, breakfast, bed, drinks) to a maximum of 30 euros.
