-There are several ways to take GPS tracks with phones or handheld GPS units (coming soon). Even if your device cannot take tracks, using geotagged photos or an app to get GPS coordinates will work for many things. GPS tracks are good for recording new paths, roads etc. Simply start taking data, walk, drive or bike the new path, road etc, and record the name of the track and maybe a rough sketch of where it is on your walking papers. You can also take one track of your entire trip, and annotate the beginning and of the new area. If you see an interesting object, you can either take a geotagged photo of it, or use a handheld GPS unit to get the coordinates and write it down on your walking papers, with notes about what it is.

		+	Primarily, there will be two ways we take data:

		+	* Recorded GPS data
		+
		+	=== Walking papers ===
		+	These are pretty simple to use. At the event, you will be given walking papers of the areas you (or your team) are going to be mapping. You do not have to print these yourself. Simply draw anything not on the map that you think should be (bike racks, trash or recycling bins, security cameras, blue light phones etc). You can also draw in new paths, although if possible supplement this with a GPS track. At the end of the day, you will return your walking papers and VTLUUG and the data will be processed at future meetings. One limitation is that not everything is rendered on walking papers (one notable example of this is surveillance cameras are not on our walking papers). If you see something, record it, and we can sort it out later.

		+	We will be working to update the OpenStreeMap of the Virginia Tech campus. If you would like to know more about what OpenStreetMap is, you can read more [[OpenStreetMap\|here]] and [https://www.openstreetmap.org/about here]. You can view the current OpenStreetMap of the campus [https://map.vtluug.org/ here].

		+	This mapathon, along with updating some clearly out of data construction areas, will have a Hokie Privacy theme.
