Mapping Niger - Progress report

Ipinaskil ni zenfunk noong 25 Agosto 2009 na nasa English

A couple of hundred mountain tops have been imported from GNS public domain data.
The boundaries of the administrative departments have been imported.
The Geoname Server (GNS) import of about 12000 villages is currently well under way and should be finished in the next couple of days.
The Vmap0 road data is complete in the western Part of the country.

What we desperately need are people who push the villages to their actual place based on the landsat and Yahoo imagery, because the data is sometimes off a couple of kilometers.

Also people who have local knowledge of road conditions/ surface are needed to tag the highways properly. Right now they are tagged mostly by eyeballing, chance and current mood I was in.
Also GPS tracks from Niger are gratly appreciated. Very often the vmap0 data is our only datasource and it is nor avery good one.

Also gps waypoints for POIs are needed to make the map richer (hotels, hospitals, embassies restaurants, post offices, Bus stations etc.). Any donation of data is very welcome.

Happy mapping,

Christian
