Hi Pierre,<br>
that is right, the remote mapping is important because it is that
way we produce data such as building, roads, and other data which
are important to produce map.<br>
Thank<br>
best regards Fofana from Lomé (International Volunteer of
Francophony)<br>

able to do this work, you provide information that remote mapping
can not provide.<br>
