Walking Papers Walking Papers
This is a test of a new Walking Papers.
With suggestions and motivation from
John,
Mikel,
Schuyler,
Todd
and Patrick,
we think we’ve made Walking Papers prints more compatible with medium+
resolution mobile phone cameras. Will you help us test? Use this version of
the site like you would the regular
Walking Papers,
and let us know of any failure, problem, or surprise you encounter at
info@walking-papers.org.
Thank you!

OpenStreetMap is a wiki-style map of the world that anyone can edit. In some places, participants are creating the first freely-available maps by GPS survey. In other places, such as the United States, basic roads exist, but lack local detail: locations of traffic signals, ATMs, cafés, schools, parks, and shops. What such partially-mapped places need is not more GPS traces, but additional knowledge about what exists on and around the street. Walking Papers is made to help you easily create printed maps, mark them with things you know, and then share that knowledge with OpenStreetMap.
To get started, search for a town or city you know, then pan and zoom the map to an exact location.
