Prepare simple OpenStreetMap field maps in Map Campaigner

Skill level needed: Basic/Intermediate/Advanced

Sample designs supported: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Map Campaigner is designed for OpenStreetMap mapping teams to implement a building and/or infrastructure census in one or more small areas. As part of their workflow, field team coordinators use Map Campaigner to generate basic A4 paper field maps with the OpenStreetMap base map for each small area. We advise survey teams without GIS skills to use this tool to generate field maps showing PSU boundaries over roads and buildings. Given that roads and buildings might be incompletely mapped in OpenStreetMap, this tutorial is best paired with tutorial D2 to update OpenStreetMap based on satellite imagery before PSU map production. However, read Section 2.1.2.3. before using this approach to ensure you understand the potential risks to respondent anonymity. A benefit of Map Campaigner is the ability to batch produce PSU maps, though non-GIS users can alternatively use Google Earth to produce field maps (see Tutorial D3).
