We are excited to kickoff 2014 with our first GeoWalk and MapUp!
GBG Davao will be spearheading the MapUp event on March 22, 2014 from 1PM - 5PM at JoBS Academy, LDL Building, C. Bangoy Street, Davao. Together with 25 mappers, we will be plotting the different establishments of the city.
What is a GeoWalk?
A GeoWalk is a type of MapUp where participants walk around a predefined area and, similar to a scavenger hunt, collect information about the real world to add to Google Maps once they’re back at a computer. A photo element can also be added. Consider taking photo spheres while out collecting other map data.
What is our Agenda?
- 12:45 PM - Assembly and Registration at JoBS Academy
- 1:00 PM - Briefing and Orientation
- 1:20 PM- GeoWalk Proper in predefined areas
- 3:00 PM - Mapping Session at JoBS Academy
- 5:00 PM - Closing Remarks / End of Event
What to Bring?
Mappers are required to bring the following:
- Mobile phone / Digital Camera to take photos
- Pens / Ballpens to list down information
- Umbrella, water and extra shirt (optional)
