[OSM-talk] Jacmel Haiti, DigitalGlobe Imagery, and Road Alignment

[Al Haraka]

All,

I understand we are all busy, but I have some Haiti questions.  The area
around Jacmel in the south appears to be very messy at the moment, and I am
only focusing on roads and basic infrastructure.  The roads seem very far
off, and at times some do not even seem to point to an artifact I can see in
the imagery.

I have tried cleaning it up using the DigitalGlobe imagery, which I have
assumed to be the best.  Am I wrong here?  What are other people using and
what are the current recommendations?  Am I doing a bad job or wasting my
time aligning the roads if they are this far off?  I realize my use of DG
may bias me, and I have not taken the time to compare.  That being said, I
heard it was the most recent and expansive.

Sorry for the newbishness here.  I just want to help, and I heard Jacmel and
all points south will be needed soon.

Regards,
_AJS
