Isle of Man mapping party
The Isle of Man is going to be having its first OpenStreetMap mapping party on Saturday 1st September, with the main aim of mapping the Island's capital, Douglas.
(I'm not going to be around after Sunday morning unfortunately - I need to fly back to Stuttgart - but if others are then Ramsey may also be a good target if we get Douglas completed.)
Details are pretty sparse at present but I'll be fleshing out the Isle of Man mapping party information over on the OpenStreetMap wiki. If you're interested, please add yourself to the list over there.
If anyone is thinking of travelling from outside of the Island and would like advice on getting to the Island, or somewhere to stay, let me know.

Hi
I live in Dalby and wanted to send pictures of it to friends. Google Earth just has a dot for Dalby. What about pictures of the Church in Dalby, my house and the 'tail of the rocks' down at Niarby?

There are a couple of photos over at Geograph, and you can load them into Google Earth if you like. Also, Getmapping have high resolution aerial photos of the whole Island.
