[HOT] OSM Nicaragua's Transit Map Project Update

Tue Feb 2 22:34:58 UTC 2016

Hi Felix, this is a wonderful accomplishment. It's great to see the product
of the OSM Nicaragua community's hard work in printed forms AND in the
hands of local citizens! Quite inspiring and glad HOT was able to play a
small role in the success of the project.
