-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Importing data like this is always a possibility. There are two considerations that are important, the first is the copyright license of the data (you would need to get permission from that group to include the data in OSM). The second is the quality and accuracy of the data. Given that it is just 8 wells I would assume the creators of the data know how it was collected, and therefore know how accurate it is. If the license can be ascertained and the data is decent then you send an email to the imports mailing list outlining the import and the process. For something so small I doubt there would be much objection as long as the license is acceptable, but it is good to let them know anyway.
Regarding the village you are looking to map, I see it is pretty well mapped via Bing as you noted, however it is missing buildings. I will map out all the buildings, should only take an hour or so at most. Having the buildings on the map makes things like walking papers much more effective for field surveys. - -AndrewBuck On 02/23/2015 03:40 AM, Francesco Giunta wrote: > Answer to John, the village is Boulpon in centre west area of > Burkina Faso.
