Hey all I am reaching out to some of the UN agencies active in DRC, and to GISers or contacts that we have down there to get a good plan of actionl, will update the list tomorrow
This will encompass * Areas of Interest * GPS tracks * GIS data for imports * imagery support and local groups * specific needs I think that asides of this interesting work on Bing, it would be great to monitor the reports about East DRC in Relief Web and generate our awareness We can definitively start setting up a job on Goma and start mapping there since Bing is not bad over this town We are planning in Senegal to have DRC as a red line and focus the efforts of trainees on the TM in mapping this town and will call to help as well Eurosha volunteers so that African OSM mappers can step in this crisis My internet here is not good enough to set the job, can change tomorrow, if anyone in the mean time feel comfortable doing this, this would be great Best Nicolas On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 12:54 PM, Joseph Reeves <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi all, > > Looking quickly at the Bing Image Analyser, Goma and some surrounding > areas are covered in high detail: > > > http://ant.dev.openstreetmap.org/bingimageanalyzer/?lat=-1.689891955079034&lon=29.226718902587876&zoom=11 > > I've not been able to find any coverage areas as shapefiles or equivalent, > however. > > Does anyone have a good way of scripting usage of the Image Analyser?
