Re: [HOT] [talk-ph] Mayon Volcano Eruption Jan 2018
Quick update. Big thanks to everyone who helped with the 2 projects for Mayon Volcano. We already shared the data (through the HOT export tool) to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) this is the government institution who supports the local government units in responding to the disaster. Also thanks to Erwin for providing updated GPS maps, which is now used by people on the ground. No new requests for mapping at the moment since we have covered the designated danger zones (PDZ + EDZ).

Ervin, Thanks, this is so much bigger than the EDZ [0]. I feel its too much too big AOI for mapping. If we can have detailed poly that identifies at risk areas, that's much better.

Re: [HOT] [talk-ph] Mayon Volcano Eruption Jan 2018
Thanks everyone for finishing the task really quick! We have 100% mapped and 57% validated as of this time. Also thanks to the mappers before us who already mapped a lot before this event. We created a new task to include the expanded danger zone [0], reference material [1]. Compared to the previous task, this needs more effort since these areas are more populated than the permanent danger zone. This continues to be a local response, but anyone is welcome to participate [0] https://tasks.hotosm.org/project/4037 [1] http://www.ifrc.org/docs/appeals/rpts09/PHvol221209.pdf On Tue, Jan 16, 2018 at 10:16 AM, Ervin Malicdem <schad...@gmail.com> wrote: > Schadow1 Expeditions has initiated producing a humanitarian version of GPS > navigation map for this area a few hours after its magmatic eruption in > January 14. > Let me know if the HOT activation needs a daily update for this one. > A poly file [0] was created to prioritize its southwest quadrant where the > magma initially flowed and also to include evacuation centers we mapped back > during its phreatic eruption in 2014.

Re: [HOT] [activation hotosm] Re: Activation. floods in Peru
Hi everyone, I can prepare the task in the next couple of hours. Some questions What specific features to map? Normally, we focus on one or two features ie building + road or other combinations this makes it easy to map and validate. Which imagery to use? Bing or mapbox or others? We usually use a single imagery source to minimize misalignment issues but if one source is not sufficient we can combine others taking note of their alignment issues and date of capture to help temote mappers understand the quality of imagery.

Re: [HOT] Forest Fires in Uttarakhand,India
Hi Praveen, Thank you for notifying us. Some questions before we talk about mapping Uttarakhand: 1. Who will use the data on the ground? While mapping in general improves the data in OSM for anyone to use, we want to make sure that before focusing efforts of volunteer mappers, we know who will use (and for what purpose) the data on the ground. 2. What specific features and where should we map? OSM focuses on basemap information (i.e. roads, settlements, natural features, etc.). Based on news reports, the area affected by the forest fires is large, we want to focus on what are the priority areas which are usually where communities maybe at risk.

Re: [HOT] Haiyan HOT extracts?
Hi Dion, The earliest pbf extract from geofabrik is Jan-2014, click raw directory index: http://download.geofabrik.de/asia/philippines.html# This is ~ 2months after the typhoon and might be a good proxy date. Around Feb 2014, I started my fieldwork in Haiyan areas and I started fixing a lot of data since then. The Jan 2014 extract is probably the closest timestamp you can get for mostly remote mapping that happened. On Sat, Apr 30, 2016 at 12:31 AM, Dion Houstonwrote: > Thanks for the quick responses.

[HOT] landuse/cover import in Cameroon?
Hi, Yesterday, I stumbled into large changesets (>50K additions)[0] over Cameroon. Inspecting further this looks like landuse/cover data taken from satellite imagery and then converted to vector [1]. Further, this seems like a group mapping [2]. 9 people with changeset comment ENEO in Cameroon. Looking into the osm wiki, I didn't see any document about this. I've not inspected any further if data is good or not. Its just that the changeset is too big. I'm posting here since I know we have HOT initiatives in the region (might be related, might be not). I'm just curious.

Re: [HOT] [activation hotosm] Re: Floods in Chennai, India - Tasking Manager Project
Hi, Last week we received a radar imagery derived file showing water-logged areas east coast of Tamil Nadu. This includes towns/cities of Chennai, Pudducherry and Cuddalore. We are still getting clearance if we can publish this data. From this map, we created another TM project for Cuddalore. Pudducherry is already well-mapped so we skipped this town. We are still trying to connect to people on the ground to scope on the specific needs. From twitter accounts, relief is hard to come by due to inaccessibility of roads. Chennai Airport was closed as of last week. Very minimal international response is coming in. The map we use for crowdsourcing flooded reports in Chennai is here: http://osm-in.github.io/flood-map/chennai.html#11.94/12.9612/80.2177/-30 OSM India is working on improving data in OSM.

Re: [HOT] Projects on the HOT OSM Tasking Manager - lots of them
We have great training materials to onboard new mappers. Maybe its time to focus on developing more materials for validation and recruit more validators? The current tasking manager requires you to validate each task. But, in most cases, quality of edits depend on a specific mapper. We can do validation by user edits instead of by task. For example, at Mapbox, we regularly review every edit of our data team (to ensure we contribute quality data and we are good OSM citizens). Instead of going through each task we review all of the edits of the user in a given project using overpass, JOSM's todo list and validator tools. See example here: https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/135#issuecomment-161922079 On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 9:04 AM, Robert Banickwrote: > I think Daniel’s suggestion is a good idea; we don’t make nearly enough use > of the front page.

I don't either of you are ranting but providing good feedback that aligns with my own thinking about tasks. I favor smaller tasks that can be completed quickly rather than huge tasks that take multiple mappers to complete. One thing that I think we are moving towards is a set of guidelines for TM PMs. This will standardize a lot of language and help keep tasks manageable. I'm working on a draft that I'll share with the HOT and TM PM lists once it's ready to share. Thanks as always for your time.

Re: [HOT] Missing Maps TM projects in DRC
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?

Re: [HOT] Chile Eathquake alerts
There is small (10-15 meters) offset for bing imagery for task: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1204 This based on publicly available GPS traces and Strava overlay. Should we drag the imagery? Bing is fairly consistent (with offsets) and advanced mappers can move many data in one go. I fear that if I shift it after very task, it can cause more problems.

[HOT] What I want from HOT (was: Re: Let's make the most of this)
Dear everyone, Let me kickstart this. First, no, I’m not running for the board, but here’s what I want HOT to aspire for in the future. As many have said, we’ve come a long way since we started with the Haiti earthquake response. We have better tools, more capable people, better systems/organization and worldwide recognition. For many areas in the developing world, we are the default map. This is especially true for us in the Philippines where and more and more users are utilizing our map across a diverse type of organization (international, national agencies, local government). Having said that, I also see a lot of improvements we can look into within HOT and the larger OSM community. Below are “wishlist” for the HOT community to consider. Note that this is my own perspective having been involved in several humanitarian mapping work(both as a remote mapper and deployments on the ground) in my own country. This is not in the order of priority. * From data consumers to data contributors. Many international organizations are using our data, but, I often wonder do they contribute back? I know a couple of organizations are doing this (IFRC/ICRC/ARC/BRC, MSF, MapAction to name a few). I think we should consciously encourage these consumers to give back. We are not just a source of free geospatial data, we are a community and they are part of it. * Building local community capacity. We are very good at responding to crisis. For a very short period, we can provide highly accurate data (street and building level detail) to any area in the world, but at the end of every response, have we considered how will the local community (if there is one) curate and continue maintaining the data? I think for every activation we respond to, we should always consider building local capacity. Some countries might not have any local community, but in areas where there is, we should strive to engage with them no matter how small this community maybe. Because ultimately, it will be local community who will maintain what we kickstarted. * Focus more on preparedness over response. MissingMaps, MapLesotho, HOT-Id (and other HOT technical assistance) are doing this already. And I think this is what we should be do more. For areas in the Philippines where we integrate participatory/community-driven mapping for disaster risk reduction, the simple exercise of mapping is a powerful tool to increase awareness on the local hazards and to engage local stakeholders (affected communities, DRR managers, local governments) in a discussion for better preparedness and response. We’ve witnessed instances where pre-mapping as part of the DRR activities allowed better response during a typhoon last year. * Better tools under challenging environment. As I said above, we have better tools now. But offline/very limited connectivity remains a big concern for most of the areas we are responding to. Better and simple tools under this condition should be what we should aim for. * Regional exchange and “mentoring”. I’ve learned a lot when collaborating with other mapping groups under a similar context. Fo example, we had several exchanges with OSM-Indonesia (through HOT’s project), being in a similar hazard context and, in a way, a closely-related culture, I find it that many of the techniques they have developed are applicable to our own condition. Would it be possible for HOT to facilitate this? For example, can MapKibera lead regional mentoring in Africa? Or OSM-Haiti within its region? Oftentimes, mentoring is from the “North” to the “South” or from “West” to “East”. This is also very valuable but lets also consider that there maybe local community experiences which can be shared within the region having the same socio-cultural context that can be more effective and adapted to the local condition. Hoping the Board and the HOT community can work on some these wishes.

Re: [HOT] [talk-ph] Typhoon Hagupit / Ruby Activation
Dear OSM-PH mappers, [cc: HOT list] It's been almost a week since we started this activation. Fortunately, minimal loss to lives were reported (NDRRMC count is 18). However, the Northern and Eastern Samar was heavily damaged, over 1 million people were affected and economic loss estimate is ~2B Php. Thanks again to HOT's Activation group especially to Mark Cupitt for leading this activation. Once again, the U.S. Department of State’s Humanitarian Information Unit (HIU) facilitated access to pre-disaster imagery through the MapGive initiative. We received tremendous support from many volunteers [1], although not as big as Haiyan/Yolanda, but still, a lot of mapping was done in the last 7 days (167 mappers). At its peak, we have 75 mappers in a single day. What is interesting is that many of these volunteers seems to have come from Philippine-based volunteers (top 5 map changes country breakdown: PH-393,539; Mali-912; unknown-727; Bahamas-102; Liberia-54). A good indication of progress with our local advocacy efforts during the year. Due to minimal international media coverage, it is likely that remote mapping support from international mappers will decline in the coming days. However, the response is not yet over, the American Red Cross (ARC) and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) continues to use our map to support on the ground initiatives within their area of operation, Nick Brown's YPDR team is on their way to Eastern Samar and OSM is their basemap, as well as many UN agencies through UNOSAT [2]. Also last night, we were able to contact friends from Leyte and Northern Samar. Some of them are are also coordinating LGU response. Specifically, Northern Samar's PPDO requested we continue to update the maps within the province. All tasks are published in the wiki coordination page [3]. Aside from the published tasks, another important mapping is the proper geolocation of settlements. For those familiar with the area, please go over the town/city placenames check if these were properly located. Thanks!

[HOT] [Typhoon Hagupit/Ruby] Collecting news from the ground and more involvement by local mappers
Dear everyone, As the Typhoon Hagupit/Ruby continues to pass through central Philippines we are actively mapping areas where we expect will most likely have great damage. The tasks are available in the wiki [0]. Note that our priority is to improve basemap information. There are other groups geocoding non-basemap information such as rescue tweets, request for assistance, person finder, etc. We are closely working with these groups too. Basic to geocoding this information is for us to have good basemap. As always the international community of mappers are helping us [1]. For local mappers what we need from you is to help us look into the expected stream of information in the coming hours/days. This is for us to re-direct efforts of basemapping in areas where information is lacking or needs urgent update. Please have a look at the map and the TM jobs and tell us if there are areas we are missing detailed basemap. We also need more local people in doing a bit more coordinations tasks.

Mark Cupitt and Manin Sambale from the Philippines are the coordinators. They are assisted by Pierre Béland and Andrew Buck from north-america. This will assures a continuous coordination for this Activation. As usual, we have the support from highly engaged contributors from Europe and America. We started yesterday a skype coordination room with OCHA, Red Cross / Red Crescent and various DHNetwork partners. The typhoon is predicted to land in about 26 hours just north of Tacloban. This city was hardlly hit by the typhoon Haiyan a year ago and many people are still leaving in tents a year after this disaster. At this point the exact trajectory and landing point is still incertain and we want to do pre-mapping rapidly. The landing is actually predicted on Samar island. This area was not intensively mapped for Haiyan since we did not have high-res imagery for the area. The HIU unit of the US State department is processing imagery and we should add new task manager jobs soon.

Re: [HOT] UAV questions
Dear FredM, Please continue sharing your experience on community lead use of UAV. In the PH, after Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda, several groups have demonstrated (some are commercial ventures) the effective use of UAV imagery for post-disaster assessment. Commercial providers are cheaper than satellite but still expensive for community organizations to avail, so I'm thinking of how we can build local community driven capacity for using UAVs here as well.

We are trying to see the use of UAV in Haiti. As since 2011 we have implemented several projects with IOM, Cartong, Drone Adventure and OSM Haiti. What we want is: - To repair UAV (wing and quacopter) in the field with 3D printer and spare parts. - To be able to fly uav over the most affected area (inundation and landslide) and get a strong methodology to use 2d inundation modeling and extract the height of the building with the UAV elevation model. Ideally to see if we can extract automatically the building without a lot of data cleaning to put in OSM (need more test) Why we are doing that: - We want to reinforce the capacity of the OSM group who are in front line with the local community and local government during a disaster or during their daily life. - Try to interact with NGO or people who talk about Haiti (in seminar, workshop, etc…) at the same level to ensure some impact In the field. For example, NGO/UN are still building Latrine in cite soleil when OSM and local community ask them stuff (shovel,etc…) to help them to clean the canal http://osm.org/go/YeSWUQfrV- It will take time as we don’t have a lot of money and the control of our communication, and in Haiti we will need first to support individual and share knowledge during a mapping party our other to see a collective movement.

Re: [HOT] Missing Maps launch tomorrow, and LearnOSM
If there is one section that needs immediate love, I propose we look at the iD section (http://learnosm.org/en/editing/id-editor/). Most newbies are introduced to this tool before diving into JOSM (my preferred editor though). PS. We will host the first event tomorrow since we are the earliest time zone among the scheduled events. :) On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 6:41 PM, Nick Allen nick.allen...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Missing Maps (http://www.missingmaps.org/) has it's official launch tomorrow, 7th November. I've deliberatly not put a time in this message, as its a pretty worldwide launch it's going to depend on your their time zone. As well as the people who attend the mapathons, there will also be many joining in 'remotely'. Of course, some of the people will have already done some mapping with HOT in the past, but my experience of helping at mapathons tells me that less than 5% will know what they are doing, and the rest will be fairly new, but may have done some research looked at help guides etc.. At a conservative guess / estimate there will be 300 mappers, the vast majority of them new, helping with various projects tomorrow. I think this is a very conservative estimate, and would hope to see considerably more - perhaps double my first figure, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were even more! Most of these mappers will look for guidance to LearnOSM (http://learnosm.org/en/). Because of the way LearnOSM is set up I don't think we can get stats. for hits on the site (I'm quite happy to be contradicted on this). If you've done any exploring on the LearnOSM site you'll have noticed that's it's not just for 'new mappers' and it has some very comprehensive guides on some complex subjects. It's good! But it needs constant attention - the editing tools and processes are constantly evolving, and what was a current guide last month, may now need a slight update. LearnOSM is also multilingual, or at least it should be. There are many sections that need more translations. There are guides on how to simply produce these translations (https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm/blob/gh-pages/CONTRIBUTING.md). Now (last week would have been better!) would be a good time to have a read through LearnOSM, and if you see something that needs sorting out, either sort it, or send a message asking for someone else to do it. If you've managed to master mapping, then getting something amended or updated on https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm is only a minor stumbling block, and could have a big impact on 700 people who will potentially read it over the next few days.

As someone who now spends most of their mapping time validating, I think we 'sell' it the wrong way. I only use the validation button in JOSM now if I think I am going to find something, and generally use the HOT-Validate paint Style (Well worth trying if you're a JOSM user, even if you don't validate). But I think even that is too much of a requirement. I have seen some excellent mapping by iD Potlatch users I would like to see some of them carrying out validating - if they are capable of mapping to such a high standard then they are perfectly capable of zooming in to look at others work saying 'yes', 'yes but', or 'no'. I rarely use the 'no' option and to be honest it could just as easily be an experienced mapper because it generally means there is a significant portion of the square not mapped (I like to think the imagery didn't load properly that was why they missed the village entirely!) Mapping = I'd like to see us rewrite the manuals, wiki's, slideshows etc., so they show mapping for HOT needs roads connected, traced at a suitable scale classed more or less correctly (I don't think we should get too hung up about this - its often only when you are looking at an area of several squares in size that you can work out which are the primary, secondary, tertiary etc - get it traced, tag what it looks like make sure that someone with an overview alters the tags later if need be). Buildings square or round and as accurate as they can be within reason. Rivers traced. leisure= common amenity=school where appropriate - anything else specific to the project. Validating= Make sure that Mapping = was done ok. It would be good to offer variety to our mappers validating, if sold correctly, is not difficult can be very rewarding. 99% of the time I'm making comments like 'All looks good, thanks'. Occasionally it's something like 'Looks good, but can you join the roads to each other not the landuse=residential boundary. I've sorted it this time', I worried for a while about sending messages to mappers about ways they could improve, but the feedback I've had from those concerned has been good, and I make sure I only send a message if it's obvious

[HOT] Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan Activation Wrap-up
Dear everyone, It's been almost half a year since we activated for the Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan. Since then, I'm sure you are aware of the tremendous response we received both from remote mappers and responders on the ground. Over 4 million map changes from ~1,500 contributors.

Re: [HOT] Interim Report: Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) Damage Assessment
Thanks Robert for sharing this preliminary report. While this may not be part of your study, I wonder how is our damage assessment comparable to what others (with more expertise) have done like those provided by UNOSAT: http://www.unitar.org/unosat/node/44/1876 Maybe we can learn from them. On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 10:23 AM, Pierre Béland pierz...@yahoo.fr wrote: Hi Robert, In the early days after Typhoon Haiyan, there were estimations of 10,000 dead, severe damages and no communications with various remote areas. The humanitarian community as a whole needed even rough estimates of the extent and the distribution of the damages. The Coordination group where OCHA , US Red Cross and HOT participated right from the beginning of this intervention thought that OpenStreetMap should contribute to make Damage assesments. The objective was to make these assesments from Satellite imagery as soon as these would be available. The Red Cross study makes the assumption that the objective of the OpenStreetMap crowdsourcing was to make detailed assesments. But you can only make rough assesments from Satellite imagery especially when atmospheric conditions restrict the quality of the images provided. And a simple classification was used (ie. damaged or destroyed). UAV's (drones) or Aerial oblique imageries could have been used to make detailed assesments. But this was not part of the established workflow of the humanitarian community before Haiyan and such images were not available to make detailed assesments. Once such crisis are ended, we should surely analyze our actions and plan collectively for better interventions in the future. But we should avoid to have wrong conclusions about actions taken during this crisis. The way the report is written, it gives the impression that imprecision in evaluation of assesment is due to the use of the OpenStreetMap community. The humanitarian community as a whole did not build before this event the capacity to react rapidly, deploy teams and provide detailed post-disaster imagery in other ways then through Satellite. In the context of this emergency and with the imagery provided, would professionnals specialized in damage assesment have scored significantly better? Due to the limits of such assesments in the operational context of this operation, analysis should be based on the capacity to identify zones of high damages and not focus on individual houses. To my point of view, the objective of that operation following the severed damages after Typhoon Haiyan was to give an early warning to identify zones and not individual houses. This would need oblique imagery. Thinking about a better workflow in the context of such disasters, the capacity to have more flexibility and deploy rapidly teams when necessary to obtain either UAV imagery (drone) or aerial oblique imagery would surely give a different response, this either with the OpenStreetMap community or professionnals of damage assesment. We surely have a workflow to build and establish the role and limits of assesments done with aerial imagery in the context of such emergency operations. We should be careful to make the appropriate analysis and not demotivate the OpenStreetMap community who made such a huge effort for this activation. The Red Cross study points to the fact that in most cases the limitation in damage assesment was the imagery that seemed to show undamaged buildings when in reality they had sustained damage. But this is not reflected in the Executive summary and in the Conclusion of the study. This study should be completed with a better analysis of the type of imagery necessary to make better asssesment studies.

Re: [HOT] Typhoon Haiyan Mapping Progress - suggestions for wider areas
Trying to get in contact with local responders on where they need basemap. Lot of crisismapping happening elsewhere (tagging tweets, google crisis map, etc.) for now, I also suggest to map major roads, bridges, rivers and small villages (landuse=residential). On Sat, Nov 9, 2013 at 10:58 PM, Andrew Buck andrew.r.b...@gmail.com wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yes, I think this is a reasonable plan of action. I looked a Guiuan during my initial assessment and concluded that although it would likely be hit hard the focus should be on Tacloban for two reasons. 1) the storm surge will likely have been higher in Tacloban do to the shape of the coastline there and the direction of the storm/winds and 2) Guiauan was very small. However at this point, point number 2 kind of works to our advantage since a small 'detatchment' of mappers could map it entirely pretty quickly. As for working westwards back towards Tacloban along the coast, I think that seems reasonable. All of the villages along the coast there are pretty small so mapping them all in detail is something that is in the realm of possibility. We are picking up a huge response to this storm, and I expect we will continue to get more volunteers as reports of damage start to come in. This is also a holiday weekend in the States which further works to our advantage. I am not sure if we should start a task manager task for Guiauan itself, or for the whole southern coast there. The other possibility is just to split up the towns to individual mappers in the detatchment team and leave the task manager job for the other volunteers.

Re: [HOT] Preparations for Typhoon Haiyan
(Adding the talk-ph list) Thank you Andrew and Harry for coordinating. There were discussions in the local list to also focus on mapping the same general area as you mentioned [0]. Another concern is the island of Bohol island [1] also along the typhoon path. Bohol was one of the most severely affected by the magnitude 7.2 earthquake last week. Many of the residents are still in makeshift houses and maybe affected by strong winds and heavy rains. Unfortunately imagery in this area is very limited. Advance thanks for those helping.

I just got home from another OSM 3-day training for DRR with a local government unit and DRR personnel. We finished the training today, but most of our participants are in full alert tonight in preparation for the possible rescue and response operations due to Haiyan/Yolanda within their respective town/villages. On Thu, Nov 7, 2013 at 11:05 PM, Andrew Buck andrew.r.b...@gmail.com wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone, Currently a category 5 typhoon named Haiyan (also being called Yolanda in the Philippines) is currently headed for the Philippines. The eye of the storm should make landfall about 24 hours from now and it will continue westward over the islands over the course of about a day after that. The storm track has very high confidence from the computer models predicting its path so this gives us an opportunity to begin mapping the affected areas before the storm even hits. You can see the predicted track as well as the current location of the storm at the short URL below (which is a link to the 'WunderMap' from Weather Underground, a great site for this kind of info). Note that although the storm itself is quite large only the strip along the center of the ground track where the eye will pass (about 20 to 50 miles wide) will be heavily affected by winds and storm surge, although a wide area will recieve heavy rain so flooding and landslides are possible, especially given that the ground is already saturated from another storm that passed the area just a few days ago. http://wxug.us/19i5j The town most likely to be affected significantly is the town of Tacloban (Population ~220,000). There have already been about 2,500 people evacuated in this town and I would expect that this is where relief efforts (if they come) will be centered. Although the population is fairly large, the town is pretty packed together and mapping it should not take too long. I have created a task manager job to help coordinate any mapping efforts, but this should not be taken as indication of steps toward activation, we are still just preparing in case the situation becomes an emergency, it is not an emergency yet and there has been no call for mapping at this time. This is all just to be prepared. http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/338 Also, to further coordinate Harry Wood has created a wiki page for the typhoon event as a whole. Again, this is just being done as a precaution, no call for activation yet. Please contribute if you have time, but if you are working on other more urgent tasks then those should probably remain your priority. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan_(2013) Thank you in advance to anyone who contributes to the mapping and hopefully we will be prepared if our maps end up being needed. -- cheers, maning -- Freedom is still the most radical idea of all -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
