Tertiary Road Mapathon
The Tertiary Road Mapathon was an initiative promoted by the Open Street Map Colombia organization in 2016 with the purpose of contributing to the development of the Municipality of Convención in the department of North Santander by generating maps and open geographical data of connecting roadways. The project sought to contribute to the improvement of infrastructure in the area, to reduce the time and costs of trade and transportation, and to facilitate access or connection with other roads, small towns and municipalities of the country. In addition, the project sought to reach far out areas in the country that have been characterized by having little presence in the state. The mapping was done through a contest in which young people from different universities in the country competed in groups to generate the best quality data with the help of technological tools provided by Open Street Map Colombia. The best ones won a trip to participate in the Mapathon for Guajira.
