<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Msilikale,<br>
<br>
We basically used OpenStreetMap (and it's tools OSMTracker, JOSM,
etc) to survey and digitize the data about Managua's
transportation network. The projects and the goal we had set us
helped immensely to grow the OSM community in Nicaragua. And a lot
of people participated in the two years, we're organizing mapping
parties. Once we finished with the data collection, we now just
extract the data from OSM and convert it into the formats we need.
We built up a very simple website to display the bus routes:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rutas.mapanica.net">http://rutas.mapanica.net</a><br>
Then we created a support website: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://support.mapanica.net/">http://support.mapanica.net/</a>
And recollected donations allowing us to contract designers and
the first round of printing the paper map.<br>
<br>
I'm happy to share experience (and code) with anybody interested
in doing something similar in their town. Please don't hesitate to
contact me directly.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Felix<br>

There are only four days left until our crowd-funding

short from reaching our goal.<br>
<br>
Please consider supporting us now and get rewarded with
your paper map or cool T-shirt with Managua's public
transport map build out of OpenStreetMap data and
collected by people that want to make a change in their
community by the use of Free Technologies.<br>

Currently, we are working hard to finish the print
design and print hopefully soon. We want to give a map
that simplifies live and reduces pollution back to the
people in our city.<br>
<br>
We are about to get to half of our goal. Now we would
like to make the second half.<br>

<br>
You might remember Felix's email from a
few weeks ago about the<br>
project he and local mappers in Managua
self-organized to map the<br>
city's 380 km of bus routes.<br>
<br>
It is really an amazing story and
accomplishment and will make a big<br>
difference in the lives of well over 1
million people who depend on<br>
the public transit system in Managua and
never had a map of routes or<br>
stops before now.<br>
<br>
He wrote up a blog post for HOT about
it:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://hotosm.org/updates/2016-01-07_a_crowd_sourced_public_transportation_map_for_managua"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hotosm.org/updates/2016-01-07_a_crowd_sourced_public_transportation_map_for_managua</a><br>
<br>
And as you may or may not remember, now
that they have the routes and<br>
stops fully mapped, they need to design
a printed transit map and<br>
produce an initial run of 20,000 copies
so the people of the city can<br>
really benefit.<br>
<br>
76% of the population of Nicaragua lives
on less than USD $2.00 per<br>
day, the only chance most of them will
have to make use of this new<br>
transit system map is if it is printed
and distributed in the city and<br>
on the buses.<br>
<br>
Felix and HOT are running a donation
site to fund the design and<br>
production of the printed maps with a
goal of raising $7,500 for the<br>
initial 20,000 print run.<br>
<br>
This is a great chance to directly
affect the lives of over a million<br>
people in a way that no one has been
able to accomplish in years of<br>
trying (see the blog post). OSM
Nicaragua did it on their own, please<br>
help them finish the job and get this
map printed and into the hands<br>
of citizens who need it:<br>
