[HOT] Mali now available in Osmand, any more needed?

[Severin MENARD]

Dear Hrvoje,

Thanks for the proposition to create new offline data downloads for OsmAnd.
I would suggest to also add Kenya, Chad and Burundi, as we deployed there
through the DG ECHO funded Eurosha project (
http://hot.openstreetmap.org/projects/eurosha_0) and trained a lot of
organizations of different kinds (local authorities, gov, UN, Ngos,
academics, OS community, civil society...) on OSM. The people having a
smartphone there would really like to have the OsmAnd data for their
country that I could show them on my device, but 343 Mo for all Africa is
quite huge for them to download considering the connection there is often
slow. Tomorrow is even a large feedbackl presentation in front of 100-200
stakeholders here in N'Djamena, then 2 days of open source softs, and a lot
of techy people would really like have OSM data on their Android smartphone.

Sincerely,


Severin
