For all of those wondering, we are indeed working on the 2013 updates for iBurn (we get a lot of emails this time a year). There are many contributors now, and we think the apps will get updated every year (and Android will be great this year!). The apps aren’t quite done yet, but we have data to share:
- view the map of Black Rock City 2013 online
- download the iBurn map of Black Rock City as an MBTiles file (which you can import into Gaia GPS for Android beta!)
- pull the map source data and TileMill project from GitHub
You can use these resources for any project you wish. We consider it all to be open and free, in the spirit of the event. Nine people contributed to iBurn this year, and we hosted a hack day at Trailbehind offices last Saturday to get everything set up – iOS, Android, and the data wrangling. I’d like to acknowledge everyone who contributed:
- Andrew Johnstone – does the art for iBurn, makes the thing that burns
- Jesse Crocker – map data and Android dev for iBurn, snowy apps and Gaia GPS
- David Brodsky – Android development for iBurn, defends free speech during day
- Chris Ballinger – Android development for iBurn, co-defends free speech during day
- David Chiles – IOS dev for iBurn, mad open sources
- Savannah Henderson – data wrangled for iBurn, support chief for Gaia GPS
- Joshua Braegger – wranged data for iBurn, herds Space Monkeys during the day
- Anna Johnson – IOS dev for iBurn, Gaia GPS dev
- Andrew Johnson – IOS dev for iBurn, Gaia GPS dev
For those of us heading out in the next few days, will this be a new app or will iBurn 2012 update with the new data?
Are you planning on releasing the BM map data for the gaia gps iOS app? I work perimeter at the event and plan on using gaia to help find my way OUTSIDE the trash fence and it would be great to have the city data as a reference without having to mark waypoints myself.
I LOVE the app!!!! Keep up the good work!
