*Ramani Huria Project Showcased at the Africa Open Data Conference*

*DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania* - HOT showcased the Ramani Huria project, a community
mapping efforts in Dar es Salaam focusing on flood prone wards of the city, at
the inaugural Africa Open Data Conference in Sept 2015. The project is
significant for its use of drones to produce high-resolution aerial
imagery. The accurate and up-to-date data collected is being used to create
sophisticated maps, with data made available to all on OpenStreetMap.

The biggest crowd pleaser in the expo was the ‘mapping bajaj’! With support
from Trimble and Mapillary, Ramani Huria as adapted a bajaj (auto-ricksaw)
to hold two cameras to take street view imagery which will be uploaded to
Mapillary, an online map and community of crowdsourced, free, and openly
licensed street level photos. Read more
