Hi everyone, I have been working with the Asia Foundation and MIMU (a local UN office) on open data for Myanmar. Some state boundaries exist on OSM, but the next level down (townships) is currently unmapped. These admin regions also serve as congressional districts in the lower house of parliament.
We've uploaded townships as GeoJSON and used it in a number of applications. Data attributes include the name in Myanmar script (Myanmar3) and the Latin script (Township). https://github.com/MyanmarAPI/dataset/blob/master/geo/lowerhouse.geojson Issues: the township borders do not fit into the current state/region or national borders represented on OpenStreetMap. It doesn't show expanded borders either... there are areas where both countries add and lose territory. During any import I would be careful to map border townships to avoid changing national borders. Tips or feedback on this dataset, please let me know. -- Nick Doiron
