A hands-on session anchored by Saikat Maiti hosted at the incredible Microsoft Reactor, #LTSFam were given a deep-dive into community mapping initiative using OpenStreetMap’s map editor - JOSM. The session showcased how to use the #PMGSY data layer as a WMTS service (courtesy of Arun Ganesh and team) as a reference to digitise data using JOSM for the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team platform (HOTOSM). In addition to this, using Strava Heatmaps to visually identify actual roads in use was an exciting way to include heterogenous data into a mapping practise.
