What is the end goal of this project? Mapping runways and taxiways isn't ... useful? At least in the United States if it's a field big enough for a K-designation, then there is an Airport Diagram published by the FAA. And therefor public domain.
Ex: https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2302/00568ad.pdf https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2302/00568ad.pdf
Something like OpenStreetMap makes sense because there is no public domain published map of everything. I'm sure there is something obvious here I'm missing. Maybe it's just anything that isn't US might be the problem.
- metacritic12 4y agoI personally would love a map telling me which parts of which airports are most connected airside, and average moving times between different regions of the airport.
- ShakataGaNai 4y agoFrom a pedestrian perspective? Yea. I could totally see that being useful for a lot of large airports.
- tiffanyh 4y agoThere’s even an official Jeppesen map for the north pole https://ww2.jeppesen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/north-pole-chart.pdf https://ww2.jeppesen.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/north-po...

- rippercushions 4y agoAs far as I can tell this is OpenStreetMap, but filtered to show just the airport data.
- habi 4y agoYes. They announced it in the OSM community forum: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/announcement-openairportmap/ https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/announcement-openairpo...
