Description:
Road Mapper is an invite-only program to “add new roads to the map, where they are needed most.” From September 19th to January 4th, @Mike_G announced re-opening the registration. On January 1st, @JustJake posted a personal 31-Day Road Mapper Challenge. Much to my surprise, quite a few fellow LGs joined in!
Goals:
Recap the 31-Day Challenge
Review discussions from the Challenge Post
Discuss Tips and Best Practices
Review differences and overlap between Road Mapper and Maps Editing

I’m excited that we’ve got interest in this topic already! Once we reach the end of January, more information will be posted in the first comment. I’m also interested to know who has and has not been admitted into the Road Mapper program. Some of what we discuss has an impact on how we edit the Live Map, so it would be great to know how many are only able to edit the Map vs. Road Mapper - @ShailendraOjha , @bhayani_naitik , @ShifaAymal
Thank you, @TerryPG ! You’ve been a big contributor to the discussion on the challenge, along with @Rednewt74 & @tony_b . I look forward to your contributions to the discussion on the meetup.
