also took a quick view of some parts of Accra, mainly the well managed
neighbourhoods and even there the accuracy is very poor even those
perceived as highly accurate. It recognises different parts of a
building's roof as separate buildings and also maps shadows as

with messy data. I will advise you don't proceed with this import but if
you still choose to continue please take Ghana out.</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Regards,</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Samuel Darkwah Manu</div></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div></div><div id="yahoo_quoted_8456007046" class="yahoo_quoted">
