[HOT] Mapathons for Ecuador

[Dr. Andreas Reimer]

Hi Russ and others,

we took a page from some of the remarks to the list and our own 
observations. During out mapping activity today we (19) mostly 
corrected, redrew and squared buildings for Ecuador (adding a few new 
ones).
Ins short, we concur that another look at the current tasks completed 
parts is worthwhile.

Regards,

Andreas
