HI,
I've found some Turkish maps of the Canakkale area - copyrite expired
so they should be useable to OSM. They are old .. say 1916? But should
give information on the historical battlefield. Some of these are Turkish!
http://www.awm.gov.au/search-awm/collections/?q=G7432.G1+S65&conflict=all&submit=Search
Unfortunatly they are presented at 72dpi .. making the finer details
unreadable.
I've placed a few deatils from one of them .. yet to do more.
Did a little housekeeping in the area - road ending near roads but not
joined - joined where bing indicates, ways crossing ways - added nodes
to make routing possible etc.

Hi,
With the forthcoming services at I've taken the trouble of mapping
the present memorials (and their associated roads, paths .. in some
cases adjacent paths so people don't take the wrong ones) at
Canakkale (Gallipoli), Turkey. A few were maped in the south (mainly
British, about 4), one road was GPS sourced, other roads looked to
be bing tracings. I've tried to get them all (OZ, NZ and Turkish
mainly), there maybe a few left (at least 2 I think) but I've not
found them with bing.
The Question?
Should I now map the named ridges, gullies etc that were used by
'us' (and/or named by 'us') in the action? These would be historic
'English' names e.g. 'second ridge', 'valley of despair', 'cooee
gully'. My source for this is copyright .. so I'll need permission
from them (or another source). But before I ask for that I'd like an
indication that the mapped features would not offend you.
------------------------
Apologies for the english language, if someone could translate it in
to Turkish it would be aprecialted.
Happy New Year
Warin.
