Added detail to Bosra

Posted by jonnymaserati on 13 ஜனவரி 2009 in English.

I've connected up the main road through Bosra and added a few streets in the town along with POIs for some of the main historic highlights of the town.

I've tried to put some of the "pedestrian" roads of the old Roman town, based on GPS tracks from both me and a friend.

I'll be heading back to Bosra a few times so will try and fill in the gaps and add a few street names.

As a general note, it would be really useful if people added both the English and Arabic in the generic names in the Middle East, otherwise these maps are only any use to Arabic readers (since I've not seen a way to filter the language on OSM yet, although I'm sure it's possible!).

Read my blog post here, from about the 6th paragraph:

It took me about 5-10 minutes to use Kosmos(windows program) and create a Kernow (Cornish) map. You could then upload the tiles it creates to a webserver somewhere and share.
