It seems the DR Congo has been mapping their villages using GPS devices since 
traditional mapping methods are made difficult by the thick forest. See the 
BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7355335.stm.

Compare their map

to our's at present 
http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=-2.017&lon=17.117&zoom=9&layers=B0FT. 

Does anyone have any more information about this?

Regards,
Matt Williams
