UN Mappers x FAO mapping updates 
As of 2 September, we have completed more than 70% of Project 4 
Huge THANK YOU to our contributors, and top mappers and validators 
Less than 250 tasks left to map! Help us finish this last one 
Project: #23835 https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/23835/
Community collaborator: Nepal Geomatics Engineering Society
Become a UN Mapper! 
The GPS on this cheap, small, lightweight Lilygo T-Deck Plus running #Meshcore is very accurate (screen shows connected to 12 satellites). Battery lasts for ages just using the map facility (not the #LoRa radio #messaging). You need to download the map tiles and map format you wish separately. Might use it up in the mountains this week during our night hike (will have backup 
)
Fin d'après-midi consacrée à contribuer à @osm_fr avec l'application @streetcomplete.
C'est incroyable comme on découvre la #ville différemment. Un quartier historique et patrimonial juste à côté de là où j'habite (#QuartierLouvois) à #Grenoble, un nouveau #graffiti sur le mur d'une maison et... une discussion avec un enfant, probablement angoissé par la rentrée scolaire, qui me demande si je suis la prof de CP :-)
Estou feliz por ter participado da elaboração de "Estudos de caso em mapeamentos colaborativos e participativos", coordenada por @raquel_ivides_org Eu escrevi o prefácio dessa obra acadêmica coletiva em português, com 20 capítulos e 90 autores e autoras. Ela pode ser baixada gratuitamente aqui:
