It is the source of GPS data, information and professional advice, guidance and inspiration. Embedded in the T4A Community is an eco-consciousness and a value system that practically rules everything. Membership to T4A is open, free and voluntary. Recording GPS field data is a by-product of outdoor/leisure or business travel. Data must be collected and prepared according to T4A quality standards. T4A data members actively collect and submit field data and information, and in return receive a monthly updated GPS map called "T4A Maps QA". This map is just a 2D map (only roads and points) and it is about a 10Mb download. It is NOT a free map and it is NOT a navigational toolkit. It serves only as a quality correction tool and it is distributed ONLY to active Data Members. If you would like to join the T4A Community, start by reviewing the T4A quality standards and join the T4A Forum below. Join the T4A Forum The T4A Forum is the online meeting place of the T4A community. It is run as a Google Group which is an email list service. The T4A community discuss matters and ask questions relating to T4A and GPS use in Africa on the forum (a strict 'on-topic' policy is enforced). Google Groups offer various delivery options. By default posts to the group are sent to forum members by individual email. On average there are about 20 messages posted to the forum per day. If you can't handle this mail volume, change your delivery options for the T4A group on Google Groups after joining. Of course you can unsubscribe yourself at any time. Joining the T4A Forum is free and everyone is welcome. However, we would like to know a little bit about yourself so we ask that you fill in the form below. This will be necessary before you can be added to the forum. Any information you provide will be kept confidential and will only be used by Tracks4Africa in case we need to get in touch with you, whether for projects, clarification of data you have submitted, etc. Most of the fields are optional but please fill in as much information as you can. Once your request has been reviewed, your email address provided below will be added to the T4A Forum and you will receive a confirmation email which you will need to respond to. If you have a problem, need help or want to change something with the T4A Forum, please email our forum administrator.
