<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">I was talking to someone who worked with one of the Agencies that used the data in the field and he was saying how great it was.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">However he said that the map started to appear after three of four days which struck me as a little odd.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">
I understood HOT starts very quickly within hours and since we have mappers around the world working odd hours there should be something happening very quickly in the database.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">
However the rendering means that tiles have to get refreshed, data has to be packaged for OSMAND etc.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">Is there a way the tiles and packaging for HOT areas given priority and done more frequently or is this already being done?<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">I also note that in Haiti
a sensefly eBee UAV has been used to collect aerial imaging for OSM mapping. I assume that the procedures have been worked out to use this device. Could one of the partner agencies UN, or someone with a bit of cash, be approached to arrange for one to be part of the initial deployment when a new area to be HOT mapped is decided on?<br>
