On the heels of the awesome group turnout from the Bethesda Mapping Party; we’ve decided why not hold another one immediately? Work off some Thanksgiving calories and come out and map with us this Sunday.

Lots of POI/Addresses/Paths/etc to collect in Courthouse Arlington. Let’s meet 12 noon November 29th and start mapping. We’ll map for a couple hours and then re-converge to upload our data.

Corner Bakery
2111 Wilson Blvd
Arlington, VA

Please RSVP Here

If you have a GPS and/or Laptop please bring them but they aren’t required. We will have loner GPS units and can teach you how to edit as well on laptops.

See you Sunday!
