Neighbourhood Addy Pope, FieldTrip GB & GoGeo Nicola Osborne,
EDINA Social Media Officer
2. Crowdsourcing what is it good for? Spread of horse-chestnut
tree leaf miner moths (Leaf Watch / NatureLocator) Locations of
Edinburgh City Cycleways (Innertube Map) Actual 3G reception
quality/speed in the UK (BBC) Otherwise unmapped locations, e.g.
North Korea (Google) Infrastructure, running water, health clinic,
etc. locations in Kibera, Kenya (Open Street Map) Californian
wineries with opening times (David Smith) Pollution in China
(Danger Maps)
3. What does FieldTrip GB do? All the key features: Capture
information Images Audio Text Location High quality background maps
Saved maps for use offline Custom data collection forms Manual
location correction Its Free!

4. Why collect data? Data makes stuff happen Data capture costs
money Local Gov doesnt have spare cash We are the Experts about our
neighbourhoods So we can help out by collecting data

5. What could you collect?

6. The Basics Download: maps and view captured records. Login:
to a Dropbox account Maps: view online maps or saved ones offline
http://fieldtripgb.blogs.edina.ac.uk/ Capture Data: basic capture
forms and GPS tracking Sync: Uploads and downloads captured data
from Dropbox
7. Why save maps to the phone? No need to be online to view
maps Streaming maps uses data allowance Maps load faster from
memory Offline Mapping Preview Map: Shows the detail of the mapping
for your location. Zoom Levels: Set the number of zoom levels you
want to download http://fieldtripgb.blogs.edina.ac.uk/
8. Authoring tool http://fieldtripgb.blogs.edina.ac.uk/ Drag
and drop: Easy to use form builder
9. Capture Data http://fieldtripgb.blogs.edina.ac.uk/ Update
the location: Urban canyons can confuse the GPS Remote data entry
from hilltops can be carried out Fill in the form: Drop down menus
are quicker than typing Sliders can also speed data entry
10. Edit & Share Easy Data Sharing: Sync to upload data
Filter data by form name Visualise your data on a basemap Edit
collected data Export to kml, GeoJson, csv, wms* Share maps through
Dropbox http://fieldtripgb.blogs.edina.ac.uk/
11. Lets collect some data Number one priority for me at
moment: Ownership of shops and brownfield sites - to support pop-up
enterprises/activities. I'm just about to put together a map
showing a rating of cycle facilities at local supermarkets. Places
that can serve you tasty food very quickly that are in between
Fringe venues... A crowdsourced map of events and locations that
are genuinely safe to take kids during edfringe would be good Could
you do a map that showed approx. queuing times for venue's ticket
offices? (Assembly - 6 minutes, Pleasance 24 minutes, venue 42 - 30
seconds)
12. Collecting data at your convenience Loads of loo listings
All different lists (e.g. council, RADAR) Facilities & price
inconsistently recorded No records of shops, cafes, etc. Hard to
find nearest appropriate facilities when you need them.
13. A very timely issue
14. So what is useful to collect? How to find them location,
what they look like, where in the building they are. Who are they
for men, women, baby change? Are they accessible? Who for? What
facilities are there? What do they cost? Are they
scary/great/anything else?
15. Now for the scary demo bit
