Grassroots Mapping Takes to the Air With Balloon Mapping KiskStarter

I haven’t Kick-started a project yet, but when I do I’ll definitely be turning to Kick Starter for help with the launch! Case in point, check out this Balloon Mapping Kit project – An Open Hardware project in Portland, OR by Mathew Lippincot – gaining traction and community funding via the popular social funding platform. Now with over $10K in capital raised, the Balloon Mapping Project is building a Global community of community mappers who are taking to the sky with the Balloon Mapping kits to capture imagery, stitch it together into a seamless coverage – what an awesome grassroots mapping effort! See details and check out details of their $85 Mapping Kit HERE – FYI you can also connect with the developer HERE on FB
