Re: [HOT] Missing Maps TM projects in DRC

[maning sambale]

Dear Pete,

Thanks, we will work on this project.  I did a random visual
inspection of several unfinished task and compared it with Bing.
There is an offset of 2-4 meters compared to Bing, unfortunately no
public traces exist.  For this task, the focus are roads and
landuse=residential.  Since we will not touch buildings I don't think
offset adjustment is necessary since it adds another thing to do for
newbies. Should we ignore the offset?
