The Port-au-Prince map is astonishing but we're short on street names
in some places.
I've added a 1994 US military map as one of the background layers in
Potlatch. You can use this to add street names easily.
Full details are at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Street_names
but in brief:
- open Potlatch
- select 'Haiti: street names' and check 'Highlight unnamed roads' in
the options dialogue
- *important* - align the imagery (space-drag)
- find a street highlighted in red
- copy name from US map
- repeat until complete :)
Helpful keypresses:
- N to go straight to the name tag (new!)
- Caps Lock (when not inputting a tag) to dim ways/nodes
- f2 to f6 to select different Haiti imagery layers
The original map sometimes numbers streets where there wasn't enough
room to fit them on the map. You can find the numbers using the street
index. I've uploaded this, plus the key and list of other numbered
features; links from the wiki page.
Thanks to the Map Warper guys for rectifying the map and Chris Schmidt
for tiling it.
cheers
Richard
