Re: [HOT] Need Suggestions: Union Mapping

2015-02-09 Thread Pierre Béland 
Hi Ahasan,
We will be pleased to support you for this action.
I would suggest that you first organize a remote mapping session with your 
local experienced mappers, trace the map in detail (roads + buildings) and add 
as much infos as you can. This will greatly facilitate the field work later. 
There is good Bing and Mapbox imagery available. This should facilitate tracing 
buildings an roads.

Infos such as street, locality, neighbourhood names and important 
infrastructures such as hospitals, etc. will help later people to locate them 
when doing the field work.  

We often prefer to use the JOSM editor since it is possible to work even in the 
context of bad internet connection. There is also a building plugin that 
facilitate tracing the buildings.
In the preparation of the Field work, it would help that you test your field 
work methodology, including adding the information to OSM later. While some 
people are mapping some areas, you could alternate and do some field work 
collection to test your methodology both using phones and paper. Since you only 
have 3 phones and 1 gps, it will be important to also use FieldPapers.  Phones 
and gps could be used to trace streets and compare with the map made from 
aerial imagery. There are also questionnaires available that help document the 
infrastructures.1. Phone Android applications such as OsmAnd with an offline 
map do not require access to internet   (If it was possible to have more phones 
it would help I think)
2. FieldPaper printouts where people can take notes.

Do you have any suggestion what might help me to finish this union in a easiest

I will contact the Cameroon OSM community for this.

GPS traces will definitely help. In Gabon Digital Globe lowres imagery
is misaligned by easily 200 m. Interesting too, we have now Mapbox
images in some areas, with no clouds in areas where bing has.

I noted them too. Some are from WRI, maybe imported from before the
imports guidelines.

Re: [HOT] WRI forest tracks import in Congo Basin

2015-02-09 Thread john whelan 
Just a comment having done a fair bit of HOT mapping in Cameroon I'm quite
interested in this project.  However my written French is a little rusty
and in some ways I feel a bit isolated from the OSM mappers in Cameroon and
a few mappers on the ground to tag would help enormously.  Also a few GPS
traces on the majors roads would help.  Most roads are fine but cloud cover
meant that there are gaps to say the least.

I note that there are a number of existing roads in OSM that look like
imports that did not seem to align with the high resolution satellite
imagery.

[HOT] WRI forest tracks import in Congo Basin

2015-02-09 Thread Rafael Avila Coya 
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi list:

This is a call for comments on an import of WRI data for 6 countries
in the Congo Basin (Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Rep.
(CAR), Gabon, Dem. Rep. of Congo (DRC) and Republic of Congo). It
seems that only Cameroon and, maybe, DRC have a local community, so
that's why I ask for advice here before going to the imports list.
This same email will be sent to talk-cm and talk-cm (Cameroon),
talk-cd (DRC) and talk-cf (CAR), so sorry for duplicities.

All import is explained in a wiki [1] (with links to the original
files, importing files and scripts), and the actual (manual) import
workflow explained in another wiki [2].

Import will be done using one HOT TM job for each country, and will be
validated afterwards by a group of volunteers, who will add more
tracks and other (yet to be decided) features.

Any feedback is highly welcome.

Cheers,

Rafael.
