OpenStreetMap US

A case study in using OpenStreetMap data to replace proprietary geographic information for a small organization. We will cover introducing OSM to leaders and integrating the data into the organization. The ultimate goal of the project is to get maps into the hands of the members of Train Mountain Railroad and help them navigate the miniature rails.
