Specifically, I'd like to update information on an online map (Waze) with the base building numbers and/or some of the facilities. It would be very nice to actually be able to use modern tools to find your way around, but I have some doubts about the appropriateness. Would this be an OPSEC issue? Or not, since the information isn't that hard to dig up?

TSgt (Join to see) I would run that up COC before doing it. In my SFS opinion, it is an OPSEC issue. I do not want for the enemy to be able to go to google maps and plot their direct route to a specific bldg. (Not that the information is that hard to find, but why give it to them on silver platter?)

Go to the visitors center and ask for one of their visitors maps. That would be the most you could post publicly. I'd still speak with the PMO and ask them if its OK. There is a reason why most GPS (not crowd sourced) don't have accurate or up to date GPS data for military bases.

Probably not the best idea. I know I received an actual map print out when I arrived here at Whiteman. At the bottom of the print out it had a message saying to shred or burn when no longer needed. It's one thing to have just a basic unlabeled map with the roads visible but when you are talking building numbers and what the building is then your getting into the more sensitive info that the general public....or certain other groups....just don't need to be able to access.
