Sorry for the quote all, but the email app on this cell phone doesn't make it
easy to edit quoted text.
Regarding detail mapping of individual sites/pitches, the reason I mapped the
camp sites in the campgrounds on a local mountain was for a Forest Service
volunteer group. The local medical fire/ambulance agency saw it and asked for a
copy. Changing my Mapnik style sheets around I was able to make a large scale
printed map with the specific details they wanted. They believe it will save
time in responding to medical incidents.
When I get back in town and to a real computer I'll make the wiki edits
suggested by another response on this thread.
