Many thanks Pierre and Pete for your helpful suggestions. Much appreciated. We already started to draw the features using JOSM as much as possible. I would follow that methods used in Kamrangir char in last Missing Maps Project. Trying to collect some more GPS/androids. Lets see.
*Would I get support from HOT (as in Kamrangir Char of Missing maps Project) to upload all the road and major features what will be collected initially by 1/2 GPS holder to track all possible roads and features ?* Kind regards Ahasan On Tue, Feb 10, 2015 at 7:06 PM, Pete Masters <pedrito1...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Ahasan, great news, man...
