Fiji is my adopted country. I traced a fair bit of the roads to hopefully inspire a local to start naming streets. There is finally at least one active mapper there armed with a GPS and uploading GPX files and naming streets, with another guy naming everything in Suva. I have been mainly mentoring the mapper to assit with getting the edits right.
Won't be sending any equipment, but are happy to assist in this way. 2009/7/12 John Smith <delta_foxt...@yahoo.com> > > --- On Sun, 12/7/09, Liz <ed...@billiau.net> wrote: > > > I'm making a suggestion for those who are not poor > > (students can ignore this) > > that we could pick developing countries with mappers on the > > ground and provide > > some assistance - advice on the map, help with data loggers > > and any other sort > > of help. > > While this is very laudable, when ever I start pondering about this I keep > coming back to how under mapped Australia is. > > It's quite frustrating, a lot of those countries have people willing and > able, but lack the technology to do something about it, and we lack in > people that are willing and able. > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-au mailing list > Talk-au@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au >
