The steps:
- Define an area of interest
- Run a map quality check
- Export a PDF of the sketch map and let locals fill it out with relevant markings

- Upload to sketch maps to get the collected markings as geodata
Some FAQs:
So far the Sketch Map Tool has only been tested on neighborhood or city level. The tool works best for study areas which are smaller than 50km².
Please make sure not to accidentally mark the globes at the edge as they are needed for automatic map detection. Use thicker felt-tip pens with intense colors; red, blue, and black work best. Prepare the same set of pens for all interviewers.
