If you're a Member of ExplorOz, it is expected that you take an active role in the site's content collaboration. You are the people with the most to gain but likewise, you have the most knowledge to share.
In our last Member Newsletter (
Member Newsletter 33), we gave you 2 challenges.
#1 was to take time to review your past trips by going into
Places and opening the map to zoom around the areas you've visited. For
places shown on the map, please click the icons to
check if there is at least one good photo and if not add one of yours.
Also
check the Description panel and use the Edit button to add an Address or Contact if required. There's also a heading further down for "information". If there is no information you can click the Edit button and type directly into the page. Clicking ok will save the update. I monitor all the updates so don't panic. It's all verified.
#2 Was seeking anyone who has been on the
Fleurieu Penninsula to add photos to our
Fleurieu Trek. To do this, you click on the What to See, Where to Stay sections and look for the list of
Places - one's showing the
Places logo instead of a photo have no photo. Please click to open the Place then you'll see an button labelled "Add Photos".
So this is just a reminder, as I still believe it will take everyone to contribute to get a photo for all 90,000
Places we have in our database.
Remember, anytime
Places are updated, app users have access to download a fresh copy of the
Places database in the
ExplorOz Traveller app. These
Places are interactive icons shown as overlays on the
EOTopo maps and this update feature is how our maps stay fresh and current and ongoing. The collaboration between travellers is a key success of the ExplorOz community.
So keep updating from your past trips in this way whenever you have the time folks!
