[OSM-talk] Keeping the Haiti Camps Up to Date

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Regarding Carrefour, Gressier and Leogane coverage by the World Bank's 
flights,
there is an image of the flight plan in :
http://groups.google.com/group/osm-emergency/browse_thread/thread/87a753027d155752
(click on the image to download, but it remains a quicklook)

You can see that Carrefour, Gressier and Leogane are covered. And also 
that the last part of the plan
(in grey) goes down toward the South from Gressier.

That part should soon be available for tracing, if it is not already.
