[HOT] University Course on VGI and Crisis Mapping - OSM Exercise

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Hi Jonas,

In addition to the fine options you were already given, another choice
could be to do some mapping in parts of the Philippines that are
threatened by super typhoon Haiyan, where some towns that are no more
than a dot in OSM are covered by high resolution Bing imagery that has
been added recently.

See

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem
