Inform and Inspire webinar - Mapio Cymru: show us the Welsh

If you've ever tried to use, or build, web mapping applications in Welsh, you'll know how problematic it can be. Whether it’s due to the gaps in the data that is available or the lack of an 'official' name for certain elements such as streams or forests, it simply isn't as straightforward as it should be. Thankfully our colleagues at Mapio Cymru are on the case.

Mapio Cymru's mission is to make it easier to access mapping data in Welsh. Having developed openstreetmap.cymru, they have recently been working with the National Library for Wales, Data Map Wales and Transport for Wales to further improve the available information.

In this webinar, the Mapio Cymru team (Carl Morris, Ben Proctor and Wyn Willams), will talk about this work to put Wales on the map and, crucially, how you can get involved.

Please note, the webinar will be:

• in English only, but you will have an opportunity to ask questions / raise comments in Welsh via the chat function.
• recorded and made publicly available on Data Cymru’s website following the event. Delegates cameras and microphones will be off by default during the webinar.

Registration closes on Wednesday 21 September 2022.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with [email protected]. 

Note: Joining instructions will be shared nearer the time.
