<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I do not think smart-phones, even high
end ones, is a problem to get by in a country like Tanzania. If
Bing does not provide good imagery in an area, or you are planning
on mapping beyond their scale small drones (fixed wing) would be a
better choice. Stitch the image together, georeference it, and you
have a good start.<br>
<br>
Coordinating such imagery for broad use is of course an issue
which becomes more and more of a challenge to us. Guess we could
move on to discussing that as well. But that would be wandering
even further off topic.<br>

<pre wrap="">Slightly off topic, but it is something that I've been wanting to ask
for a while: when we are talking about using devices in developing
countries to collect geo data, is a GPS still the device of choice, and
not low-end smart phones? I'm aware that the GPS devices naturally might
be provided by /borrowed from a third party.

<pre wrap="">Hi Andy,
I spend a lot of time in Tanzania and have done a bit of mapping there, one of my experiences has been the lack of current resources (like learnOSM) in Swahili. I’ll have a chat with my colleagues about this as there will be (soon I hope!) more OSM mapping in Tanzania.
Best,
Mark

<pre wrap="">I have met someone from the Tanzania Development Trust, who has asked
for teaching resources for new OSM editors and data reusers, which
they can pass on to colleagues in that country.
What would you recommend? Do we have any active mappers or OSM
advocates in that country?
