There is a huge amount more that can be done to improve the map in Haiti in general.
Many of the rural areas are not mapped at all or only partially mapped, with several villages or hamlets where no roads, tracks or paths are shown that link these to other places. Additional details can be added to the map such as landuse and mapping individual buildings. We can make use of the high resolution aerial imagery available in many areas to create a highly detailed map. Also, there are many areas where the precision of the mapping of roads etc (possibly where only low resolution imagery was initially available) can be improved.
