The New TNMCorps Map Editing Application is Now Live!
We’ve greatly appreciated your patience as we worked to develop our new map editing application and are pleased to announce that the wait is finally over!
Changes
The new application will likely take some getting used to since we’ve introduced some significant changes, including adding three new recreation structure types and incorporating mapping-challenge-directed editing, both outlined below.
As always, before diving in head-first, we highly recommend reading through our new User Guide and updated guidance documentation.
New Structure Types
If you’re an outdoors enthusiast tired of our same-old data (and even if you’re not!), you’ll be thrilled to know we’re now collecting and updating three new recreation-themed structure types:
Mapping Challenges
Additionally, editing is now primarily directed via built-in mapping challenges focused on fixing specific errors, reviewing specific structures, or verifying data in a specific geographic area. The built-in mapping challenges should also make it easier for new users to find points to edit!
