[HOT] Mapping request from MSF

[Pete Masters]

Hi all,

Quick request... MSF urgently needs data for teams in Kinshasa battling the
yellow fever outbreak.

http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2041 (just buildings on this one)

This is the first of (probably) a few areas needing mapping. More details
in the tasking manager project description. Vaccination set to start early
- mid August. Team has asked if we can have the mapping done by the 8th
August.

If you have any questions, please let me know. If you have some time, your
contribution would be much appreciated, either mapping or validating

Cheers,

Pete

Re: [HOT] Mapping request from MSF

Hi, Pete:

I've done 2 tasks [1], and I've seen that Mapbox, apart from being well 
aligned with Bing, clarifies lots of buildings that are difficult or 
very difficult to spot with dark Bing imagery. So I think adding Mapbox 
would be a good idea.


I would also ask mapper to align some of the highways, as otherwise they 
intersect with buildings.


Cheers,

Rafael.

Great! In my humble opinion I see this as a natural way, good step and a
better (institutional) approach -- than individuals sending second hand
smartphones to OSM communities in latin america --, specially those
proposing to create humanitarian projects for the purpose to test the
applications or create app communities.  I mean, humanitarian and
development objectives are first.

About using smartphones to maps slums here are some experiences:

A gentle greeting,
