Dave,
A good ressource for names is from
http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/namefiles.htm
You can download the country file for Lesotho. In a spreadsheet, you can
filter to keep only the populated places (ie DSG=PPL).
Then select the following variables, add a place column and save as CSV file.
- LAT
- LON
- FULL_NAME_RG (rename as name)
- add a colum place and give it the value hamlet
In JOSM, the opendata plugin will let read the csv file. Using Bing Imagery
or other, one important step is to align the Place tag with the villages. The
TODO plugin can be used to pass the list of places one by one.
Pierre

Objet : Re: [HOT] Looking for maps of Lesotho
Dave, OK, we have some TPC Maps already done
Please go to http://disasternet.org and double click on the Show Maps Icon
Then Click on Menu -> Crisis -> TPC and check the area. These maps were
downloaded from University of Texas Library so they should e in the Public
Domain and Ok to Trace
If of value, I will make he layer available as a wms layer for you to use. It
wil take me a couple of days
In the mean time, if you dig any other maps up and can trim georeference them
for me, I will make them available as well, I will give you an ftp account
where you can upload them. We need them as a GeoTiff EPSG:4326 preferred, with
internal overviews, but NOT JPEG Compression (other compression is ok)
BTW, the first time you access these, it will take some time for the tile cache
to build, but after that, they should render reasonably quickly
Please let me know
regards
Mark
