[HOT] Ecuador - More Projects?

[Suzan Reed]

The image is very good and it does load slowly, but I appreciate having that kind of clarity. 

Just invalidated a number of tasks in the new projects. It might help if the instructions were written more clearly? People are joining buildings, drawing Residential Areas around groups of buildings inside of the city, and I can understand how they misread the instructions because of the way they are written. So we don’t have a lot of wasted time and energy, maybe someone could rewrite them so they are much more clear? 

Here are a few of the things I’ve commented on in both English and Spanish: 

Buildings must be individually mapped and can not touch. 
If a building touches another building there’s a gray node that must be detached. 
All buildings are buildings, not houses, industrial buildings, or casas. 
A city is a Residential Area. Don’t draw a Residential Area around a group of buildings in the city. Each building needs to be traced. 
Be sure to square all buildings. 
Zoom in to 40% to map buildings accurately. 
Although the buildings are dense, they should each have four walls. They can’t touch. 

All this could be written much better, but that gives an overview of what I”m seeing. Hopefully better instructions and good comments can get these things corrected and we won’t be wasting time ad man-hours. 

Onward!

Tyler,

Thanks!

Is anyone else having a problem with custom imagery drawing very slowly in iD?

We are planning a mapathon in Colorado US tonight.  Are there likely to be more Ecuador projects suitable for newer mappers? I am attempting to revise our instruction guide now.

Thanks,

Mike
