I want to know how you feel about adding the market and water_pump
data that does not yet exist on the map. In Africa the existence of a
market and/or a water_pump is not only important information for the
locals, it is important information for any medical or humanitarian
teams carrying out any assessment or intervention in the area. I wish
to add this data to the map near the name of the community with a
fixme stating that the existence has been confirmed but the location
is not yet known. The fact that it is there will be spotted by
subsequent mappers and hopefully they will be able to move it to it’s
correct location.
Yes to adding the data.
While purists will want the exact location, those using the map now will
want that indication even if the location is off by some distance
(possibly 200 metres?).
While the 'location is not yet known' the location will be 'near' the
community - so it will be the best indication 'we' now have.
It may be possible to use satellite imagery to get closer .. if that is
detailed enough and the feature is different enough to be identified.
