Hi..? On Saturday 10th September 2011, we held a mapping day event at Uganda Christian University Mukono in Uganda, where we spread the idea of mapping and updating the Open Street World map as part of the mapping Uganda Initiative at pamoya (http://www.pamoya.com/node/13275), however, the satellite imagery for the area (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=0.35501&lon=32.74088&zoom=17&layers=M) was not available.
We were able to use the walking papers and the g.p.s unit that enabled us to have better accuracy, using potlatch without the satellite imagery was like working while blind folded and we managed to make the edits. We never used Merkaator or JOSM as it was a one day event, and it was an introductory to the 20 participants, so the quickest tools had to be used. I would like to know if there is any other means, or when the satellite image will be available to OSM for such areas.
