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.
There is imagery (from Bing) there, but only up to z13. We have the
imagery we're given (or rather allowed to use) I'm afraid and we don't
have a way to magically conjure up high res imagery where Bing don't
have it.
