Hier eine Danke-Mail aus Haiti:

My name is Craig Luecke and I'm currently in Port Au Prince with the 
Fairfax County Urban Search & Rescue Team (USA-1) out of Fairfax, VA, 
USA. We were the first USA rescue team on the ground. I wish there was a 
way that I properly express to you how important your OSM files were to 
us. Most of our team members own their own Garmin Rino and 60CSx units 
on top of the units we already have in the equipment cache. Having these 
detailed maps on our GPS units is a big deal. Shortly after discovering 
your work I quickly spread the word and transferred the street level 
maps onto as many Garmin units as we could before sending the American 
rescue teams on the streets. The team members are thrilled to have this 
resource you have created. I wish you could see their faces 'light up' 
when I take their GPS unit and tell them that I'm going to give them 
street level detail maps. They have been working VERY hard and anything 
that can help them in every aspect of their mission here is greatly 
appreciated. I am spreading the word about this work to all rescue and 
humanitarian teams on the ground here in Haiti. Please be assured that 
we are using your data - I just wish we knew about this earlier. THANK 
YOU! If there is anything I can do to return the favor please let me know.

My email is rocklandusa at gmail.com.
