[OSM-talk] Dominican Republic

[Mikel Maron]

Hi,

I was in the Dominican Republic 2 years ago. Did a little intro to web mapping workshop workshop with the Environment Ministry there.

Blogged a bunch on DR

Looks like there's beginnings of  coverage in Santo Domingo from Yahoo imagery. 
But even the Zona Colonial isn't there .. and that would be great fun to walk and map (though be careful, some sketchy places just on the outskirts on the center).

Santiago looks extremely well mapped.

I suggest getting in touch with local mappers, maybe through a mapping party. 
Though the wiki page isn't even existing  .. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Dominican_Republic

What I usually do is download data for an area, through the Export tab, and then get a list of users by running this one-liner..
$ perl -nle 'print $1 if /user="(.*?)"/' map.osm | sort | uniq -c


Then you can look up each user's page on OSM, and send them a message directly.

Have fun!

Mikel

Hello list,

I am going to spend my vacation in the Dominican Republic.
Any hints what to consider?
Any suggestions?
Any experiences?
