Ann and I explored the neighborhood around Duşanbe köçesi this afternoon as the new satellite imagery and map as drawn did not correlate. Collected some good ground-level imagery with Mapillary and good GPS traces with the Garmin navigator, and updated the map in that neighborhood. Also located (and added) the Border Service Institute and the mineral water sanitorium in Berzengi, location of both of which had been minor mysteries!

We keep adding bus stops, thanks to Mapillary, and at some point I hope somebody will help with including data on bus routes.

We finished with a visit to the Watutin (Vatutin) Cemetery, where we geolocated two significant monuments, to the composer Nury Halmamedow and the physician cum Sanskrit scholar Boris Smirnov, who translated the Mahabharata into Russian.

I am increasingly more impressed with Mapillary than with OpenStreetCam. It works with with ID, its base map is kept updated (OpenStreetCam’s is woefully out of date), and it does not try to force traces to align with existing highways in OSM, leading to greater accuracy.
