Data Cymru has invited our Welsh language mapping project: Mapio Cymru to run a free webinar.

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.
