Nestoria UK Blog

Hail Nestorlinians!

As you may recall, a few months back we announced our sponsorship of Living with Dragons. Gregory Marler, the man behind the project, is attempting to live without copyrighted maps. An interesting, and entertaining, experiment. He’s slowly but surely mapping Durham using OpenStreetMap; you can follow his progress. To speed things up, a Durham Mapping Party is being organised for the 7th and 8th of June, and we hope many a loyal Nestoria fan will participate.

You can check the progress of the OSM volunteers in Durham and elsewhere in the UK via the experimental OpenStreetMap version of Nestoria. Compare our mainsite version of Durham and the OpenStreetMap version. As you can see there’s still work to be done in Durham. Other recent mapping parties have proven very successful and more and more cities are being mapped in great detail, and I’m sure it will be the same in Durham. Other upcoming mapping events in the UK include Birmingham, Southwest Surrey, and Wales.

Best wishes to all the mappers out there!
