After a docking in Santander, Spain, and a transit via Valetta, Malta, I am now at work near Antalya, Turkey. Now, I havn't been able to get any surveying done, so I have no GPX tracks to trace, but Bing have given me a pre-christmas gift. With the release of Bing vertical fotos, many areas of my interest have now received hi-resolution vertical photos, a coverage Yahoo! didn't offer. Now, with Bing, Yahoo and CBERS (preparing vertical fotos is a long manual job, until now, only the flooded areas of Alagoas state have been made awailalble as WMs), much of Brazil have been covered.

In the first run I have completed most of the urban areas of Guarapari, than started to look a bit further away, getting more details into data I already know (my old GPX tracks have a low sample resolution), and further have been connecting many highways from the IBGE import to the main grid.

My work on INT 1 have been temporarily halted, though the icons are still residing in my computer. Today I started to upload icons on the chapter Q: Buoys, Beacons. Just a few more chapters, and that is completed.

My translations of Brazilian Portuguese Map Features continues. I guess I am about one quarter done now. That work as well will continue, and hopefully will help recruite more Brazilian mappers (and I hope Bing coverage also helps there). We are well underway of making the best roadmap of Brazil.

Does anybody know of a place to host a map? I am thinking about making a map stylesheet for an experimental INT 1 type rendering of OpenStreetMap.
