This sounds good to me. Does anyone have a current list of the GPS intersections, the coords for the airport, the coordinates for the man, etc? I couldnt' find it on the bman website!

thanks in advance!

I'm trying to collect GIS data for Burning Man. Here is my list of known sources:

waypoints: http://roam.igargoyle.com/trailer/black_rock_city.txt
sat images:

http://roam.igargoyle.com/trailer/br_SE_edge.gif
waypoint intersections and art:
http://home.comcast.net/~brcmap/gps/ (waypoints from 2003)
topo map:
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp
non usable, but pretty:

since the BMorg does not currently publish their latest and greatest GIS data on Burning Man, >all< my sources are considered old, the latest is from last year.

hope this is helpful though! you probably just want the top link.

Well Nym impresses me each time I read him.

This thread seems like it will interest me.
