Yes, there are lots of people in the first world mapping even the most irrelevant buildings in their villages, while in the third world there are large cities with good Yahoo imagery and nobody mapping them. Sad, isn't it? South Africa does not seem to need much help, by the way. Lucas

I've only just joined the OSM Talk Mailing list and wanted to respond to this message... so i've pasted some of it below the jump. 80n... if you're bored in the evenings, how about thinking far away from home? South Africa has good aerial photography for the major cities (Yahoo Imagery)... wanna give us a hand down here? : P ____________________________________ > 80n wrote: > In my case I've run out of stuff to map.

And by complete I mean all everything down to post boxes but not as far as house numbers. As far as Surrey is concerned all towns and large villages are fairly well mapped. I don't think we can declare it finished yet but it's not far off. I don't know how other counties are doing. Are any others near to completion? 80n _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
