Mapping Puerto Ayora

نُشِر بواسطة mbethke في 18 مارس 2010 باللغة English آخر تحديث في 19 مارس 2010

My first mapping efforts :)

I must say the fact that some kind soul has mapped practically the entire town of Puerto Ayora already was the deciding factor that made me want to contribute. This is free-as-in-speech awesomeness---compare to Google Maps or most commercial mapping services: they don't give a damn!
There seem to be no usable printed city maps here. Fortunately, I had noticed that already while at the immigration office so I snapped a photo of one of the plans they have on the wall there (yeah, it's freely usabe, or so they told me). Only from that did I find out that the street I live in actually has a name! Our neighbor is the one every taxi driver knows but the name of the street usually earns you little but a puzzled "Mande?"
Not that I expected that to change any time soon, OSM probably isn't all that popular with Puerto Ayora's taxistas. Yet :)

Most of the street names should be there now (still getting used to Potlatch so I'm not sure whether there is no preview function or I just haven't found it yet), load of POIs (PsOI?) still to add.

No preview function yet - but the next version of Potlatch (Potlatch 2) has real WYSIWYG rendering with street names and everything, so hopefully that will help!

Welcome to OSM!
As I know Puerto Ayora well enough I still see some work to be done there. For example the footpaths to the beaches are still missing or not very precise, maybe even ad the walk around the Darwin Research station...? And "The ohther side" with the way to the Grietas. I took those tracks 2 years ago yet my equipment blasted before I could safe it all. Saludos, Kris
