I am planning to contribute the base map to OSM while more of the details will probably be kept in a database by the school. I am flying into Kampala Uganda to get to Beni. That's a good suggestion to reach out to groups there. Thanks also for the link to the CA list.</div>
<div style="" class=""><br style="" class="" clear="none"></div><div style="" class="">Mainly I want to bring GPS units as backup to the phones. I am using OSMAnd and a survey app developed by a company in Uganda. The internet is 3G and so not so bad. The main worry is that the city only receives about three hours of electricity per day in the evening hours which leaves little time to charge devices. Something I am looking into is seeing what kind of portable battery chargers and solar chargers are available.</div>

<span style="" class="">If you dont have a GPS, an other solution is to install an Application on an Android Phone (ie. OSMAnd,OSMTracker Navfree). There are also applications for iPhone.
