[OSM-talk] Our work is used in Haiti.
search and rescue team in haiti, use osm maps in garmin GPS Puentero, a Colombian working on search and rescue operations in Haiti, says thanks for the map Many thanks Freddy. Very timely maps of Haiti that sent me to the Garmin. I went down and installed the GPS in our search and rescue teams. OSM undoubtedly be a great help to our response teams, especially those going to move to rural areas. -- Forwarded message -- From: Carlos Andres Barrera Diaz Date: 2010/1/15 Subject: RE: Openstreetmap en Haiti To: fredyriv...@gmail.com Mil gracias Fredy. Muy oportunos los mapas de Haiti que me envio para el Garmin. Ya los bajamos e instalamos en los GPS de nuestros equipos de busqueda y rescate. Sin duda OSM será una gran ayuda para nuestros grupos de respuesta, especialmente los que vamos a desplazar hacia zonas rurales. GRACIAS A LA FAMILIA OSM POR SU APOYO!

Re: [OSM-talk] Our work is used in Haiti.
Related to this, I was thinking last night if it would be of value if there was a Web service/app like maposmatic http://www.maposmatic.org/ to support work in Haiti. The OSM data would be overlaid with Military Grid lines to provide a coordinate system that many of the military operations are used to. A tool like this may not be of any use to SAR people on the ground, or even if it was, it may not be practical based on conditions on the ground, but I thought that I would throw the idea out there. David. I don't know much about how international search and rescue works, and I am guessing that with the current state of the infrastructure in Haiti, it may be impossible to download frequent updates of map products for distribution to field staff. 2010/1/15 ouɐɯnH fredyriv...@gmail.com: search and rescue team in haiti, use osm maps in garmin GPS Puentero, a Colombian working on search and rescue operations in Haiti, says thanks for the map ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Yup, all it needs is a border around the city and it (should) work. In the mean time, walkingpapers can print the cyclemap (contours) regular version of the area.

Hi, Sam Vekemans wrote: In the mean time, walkingpapers can print the cyclemap (contours) regular version of the area. For those with large printers/plotters (though there may not be many on the ground) I am doing large PNGs regularly, at labs.geofabrik.de/haiti/large-png-maps. Suitable for an A0 size printout. It's the same you would get from the export tab on the main osm site just that the export tab won't let you do that size (about 15k by 10k pixels).
