Field Mapping Order of Operations

Attanagalu Oya Project, Sri Lanka

  1. Select your area to cover and prepare a base map of that area in QGIS (to capture admin boundaries not in OSM).
  2. Prepare field papers for this area.
  3. Do one day pass through the area with field papers and GPS, mapping only roads, landuses, major points of interest and other features that will help orient map users.
  4. Input this data into OSM.
  5. After the data has been synchronized and reflected in the OSM map, prepare new Field Papers, OMK maps and OMK data after the data has been processed and the OSM map updated (this may take several hours).
  6. Map exposure data for the area using field papers and OpenMapKit.
    • DO NOT edit the area in OSM during this time or conflicts WILL occur
  7. Surveyors should mark completed buildings on field papers as they go along
  8. Upload exposure data to OMK server
  9. Download OSM data from OMK server and validate
  10. Upload validated OMK data to server
  11. Update missing buildings and field paper building edits
