The World Bank's aerial imagery is being prepared. It will be even better than Google's : 8 cm instead of 15, and cover a much larger area, extending to Leogane.
You can get a view of the flight plan here: http://groups.google.com/group/osm-emergency/browse_thread/thread/87a753027d155752 In the meantime, I have been told (on the IRC channel, by Chris who is setting up the World Bank's images) : <crschmidt> jgc: there's a lot more important things than mapping out eveyr outbuilding in the PaP area. <crschmidt> jgc: there are whole towns not in the map at all. <crschmidt> jgc: and there are lists of things like hospitals, offices, etc. that would be lovely to have in OSM <crschmidt> anyone who wants to map should work on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/New_Mapper#Adding_Hospitals_From_Sahana first Margie Roswell a écrit : > The Google imagery is clearly superior to the others, but has a > limited boundary. > > Does anyone have a google imagery contact, to put in a request for a > more extended area?
