[OSM-talk] Mapping South East Haiti

[Karl Guggisberg]

Hi Vincent

We have been mapping Jacmel city in the past three days. The city itself 
an east up to Catadat, north up to Bassin Caiman, and west up to 
Desmarattes is mapped as good as possible. The area is covered by 
DigitalGlobe imagery whose quality is, unfortunatelly, not homogeneous.
Jacmel center has been enriched with street names and POIs provided by 
MINUSTAH.

Depending on which rural areas you are most interested in GeoEyes Ikonos 
satellite provides coverage too, but only more up north.

Have a look at this site: http://projekte.eiops.de/osm-matrix/. Can you 
tell us what tiles in this matrix you are most interested in?

Regards
Karl
