Hi,
Ben and Pieren thank you for bringing some details already.
I just want to provide some information on the map of Yaounde.My graduation
project is to implement a mapping portal of Cameroon, accessible to all based
on OSM.
More than just a portal, the project aims to use OSM as urban management tools.
what is already done:
- From 2010 to 2012, I did some field missions (mainly in Yaoundé)
- July-August 2012 with a group of 4 students we educate local students on the
osm project
- This year from March 11 to April 8, with the support of EUROSHA Cameroon,
Cameroon OSM community has been launched.
- We conducted a conference and some training in JOSM
-
I furrowed some streets of the capital and other cities in Cameroon
(Limbe, Bertoua, Buea) with video system board (GPS + Camera). This
permit direct measurement of the coordinates (x, y, z) on images with a
centimeter accuracy.
- We have received permission to import some public data in OSM (forest roads,
student projects) (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GeoCameroun)
- The scripts to generate OSM files (Ogr2Osm, OSGeo4W ...)
- A dedicated account for imports
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/GeoCameroun)
What remains to be done:
-
Finish the project documentation on the wiki OSM (I will finish it as
soon as possible, I just have other more pressing issues for the moment)
- finish the discussion with the local community on the national data to import.
- my internship report will naturally be public.
Do not hesitate to contact me for any information about the project
