Hoping we can do this for the Philippines as well.<br></blockquote></div><br>I am planning to officially translate the announcement today.<br>The data is only available for a period of 6 months for France only . There is no plan as of now for other countries. Whether the deal is extended or not will depend on how much the data is used and its impact on the resulting map. Many people in France have starting using the data to enhance the polygons that were imported during the Corine Land Cover import. The precision of 2.5 m doesn't allow too much precision in drawing roads and buildings.<br>
