Ephemeral Mapping

Posted by gecho111 on 6 January 2021 in English.

Lately I’ve been using uMap to map the local fat bike trails to let local riders know where they are. The trails are just snow so they can get buried by more snow and shift position when re-groomed or abandoned. Come spring they melt away.

I like that I can do most of my gpx line editing in JOSM then import to uMap for final formatting.

Nice to hear there are other fatbikers out there!

Do you mean that the trails are temporary and only exist during winter?

Yes they meander around the trees on the lawns in a few parks.
