Just read again my messagem and realized that it sounded a little arrogant. The thing is that the slums' footpaths are very narrow, therefore the tracks are way too much unaligned.<div><br></div><div>We had a couple of meetings and I said that we (Claudomiro and I) could try to arrange fundings to buy satellite imagery or good GPS units, showed them how wonderful Walking Papers is, but they weren't interested. :(</div>

</div>So what? As was discussed before and suggested by me when I actually<br>
joined the project. There is absolutely no reason to manually retrace<br>
GPX/NMEA tracks. Enough research is done to dynamically update maps<br>
