[HOT] Mapping Lubumbashi, DRC

[mtb at martinb.za.net]

Hi Jorieke,

I just spoke to Jaakoh and Andrew on Mumble, and I am happy to talk to 
the BBC (as a very new person to HOT and OSM). Not sure how they want to 
do it, but if you are happy for them to talk to me, feel free to pass my 
e-mail address on.

I am based in South Africa, if that has any bearing on their decision.

Martin

>> Hello Jorieke,
>>
>> looks like the mapping is making progress.Very well.
>> I mapped a few tasks my self, based on the Bing images.
>>
>> Here is a related request:
>> In Lubumbashi there are still very few GPS traces.
>> It would be great if you could record some GPS tracks while you are 
>> in the
>> area and load them onto the OSM server.
>>
>> Most mapping is based on satelite images. That has a lot of detail.
>> But the experience has shown, that it is important to check that the
>> satelite images have a correct alignment without any offset.
>>
>> Looking forward to your traces.
>>
>> Keep up the good work.
