Coordinates of HVDC facilities in China and Philippines
Posted by Obelixx on 1 February 2012 in German (Deutsch).Is it possible for Openstreetmap-members to find out the coordinates of the following HVDC schemes:
* HVDC Zhoushan ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_Zhoushan )
* HVDC Leyte-Luzon ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_Leyte_-_Luzon ) near Naga, Philippines . It would be also great, when this line would be mapped.
* HVDC Three Gorges – Changzhou near Longquan ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_Three_Gorges-Changzhou )

Well Obelixx,
the issue here are the missing high res pics of these areas.
Without them it will be very hard to map those power lines.
Or you have to by some tickets to travel there and map them by on-site observation.

Not to mention that the Chinese authorities are rather suspicious of 'unofficial' surveyors.

I believe that there's new imagery covering parts of HVDC Leyte-Luzon ( osm.org/?lat=12.4881&lon=124.2976&zoom=14&layers=M )
I'm done with one portion (Santa Magdalena - Irosin), can you finish the rest?
