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,
The bounding box is not perfect, but I configured a map over at
maposmatic:

As soon as I have a better bounding box, I would configure multiple
map configurations for the different languages (TR, EN, ??).

Hi and Ok good thought,
There is not much in Turkish up at the moment... I'm waiting on the
Aust. War Memorial permission that could take some time. Feel free to
add things including Turkish names.
Bounding box might be better at 40.218,26.275 to 40.260, 26.322? That
covers most things, there are a few outliers that follow the same methods.
I've removed 2 Piers that don't exist any more, following comments by
others and further thinking about it. The contentious things in my mind
are the named valleys, ridges and streams... I'd think that these may
well not have had names before the conflict? A 'Valley' might be so
small that normally it would have no significance, but when you want to
shelter from gun fire even a slight depression becomes a valley. And
following the normal erosion valleys, ridges etc may well have further
reduced in landscape significance. So why map them? Well my thinking is
that is what people want to see (apart from the memorials) as they have
read about them in books, seen them in films.
I'm mixed about mapping trenches. I've included the 'chequerboard' (a
large installation of criss crossed Turkish trenches) as an example, I
don't think there is much left of them?And the little that is left ..
well it should be preserved and directing large numbers of visitors
there might degrade what is left.
