Hi,<br>
<br>
A followup to let you know that the area has been entered in OSM, and
to document the "process":<br>
<br>
- the points coordinates from the Presidential decree were written in a
text file (fixing a typo: a pair of digits were repeated 3 times,
reduced this to 2 times to make the size of the number consistent with
the others),<br>
- which was converted to shapefile with gen2shp utility program,<br>
- coordinates where transformed from UTM 18N to lat/lon, with ogr2ogr
-s_srs EPSG:32618 -t_srs EPSG:4326<br>
- shapefile was converted to .osm with ogr2osm.py,<br>
- .osm was imported with JOSM.<br>
<br>
For the South East side of the area, road RN1 (which was in OSM,
sourced at CNIGS and CartONG) was used.<br>
<br>
The area is defined as a relation within OSM, with admin_level=10,
which should hopefully make it show on the maps at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org">http://www.openstreetmap.org</a>, at least at high zoom levels, once the
tiles have been updated (thanks to Richard Weait for his indications).<br>
<br>
The relation is there : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?relation=546964">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?relation=546964</a><br>
<br>
Comments are welcome, of course.<br>
<br>
<br>
By the way, I am wondering whether this could not be a communication
support for OpenStreetMap. E.g. let journalists that might wish to
write about the Port-auPrince IDP relocation offer know that there is a
map that they can use freely under its license...<br>
<br>
See e.g. :
