# Some important ground rules and tips:
1. Have fun! We’re here to develop a shared understanding of the geography, community mapping, and open data. Make friends!
2. Ask for help, discuss how to map with your colleagues – how should you represent what’s on the ground? Point? Line? Area? Strive for consensus and consult available resources.
3. ***Never, ever copy from Google*** (or any other proprietary data source). You may use Google (or Yahoo or Bing) to find a source web page, but Google’s terms & conditions expressly forbid copying. Get your information from a ***primary source*** – fieldwork or the target web site. We list some sources for you below.
-4. See Rule #3.
-5. DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER. It will not work. However, Chrome and Firefox work fine.
