[Talk-br] Mapping in Rio de Janeiro

[Alex Barth]

I'm going to be staying in Copacabana. It looks fairly well mapped [0] ... I may be missing some pockets.

Ruben [1] has done some great satellite tracing in Barra da Tijuca [2] - there'd be some decent car work there. But what about mapping some more marginal areas like Cidade de Deus [3]? Open for more suggestions.

What about doing Saturday, June 16th afternoon?

/cc Daniela, Pedro, Fabricio who I talked to about OSM mapping in Rio as well.

They're 20km apart, but they're very different in essence - Copacabana is dense, has subway, is "foot-centric" etc., while Barra is more "car-centric", with many condos, shopping malls etc. I've never been to US, but I'd say that Copacabana is more like NY or San Francisco while Barra is more like Florida suburbs.

I will be there on 19 for "speed geeking" presentations in the Demo Alley at the US Center, but likely be there the day before as required by the organizer for a quick meting I think. SO I can join you if you want.
