State of the map

Relative little mapping has been done in Burundi. As Bujumbura Mairie and part of Bujumbura Rural is covered by detailed aerial imagery, great progress is made in mapping that area.

Useful resources

Aerial Imagery

Aerial Imagery can be a very usefull tool in mapping. However, all data derived from aerial imagery should be verified in the field. Great care should be taken, that aerial images are aligned properly with the coordinate system in OSM. The best way is to align the images with ways in OSM that are derived from or verified by GPS survey in the field. It would be very helpfull when the source of the data is easily identified, for instance by using [source=GPS] or [source=Yahoo] etc.

Yahoo satellite imagery

Yahoo! imagery is no longer available since 13 September 2011. Yahoo! Aerial Imagery covered the area around Bujumbura. Map.

Bing satellite imagery

Covers approximately the same area as Yahoo imagery, but is much more detailed and therefore better suited for tracing.
