Kyrgyzstan is a Country in Central Asia at latitude 42.86, longitude 74.6.

Map error: Invalid 'layer' value '%1'

The main cities such as the capital Bishkek are partially mapped, as are main highways and parts of the mountainous rural areas, for example around Karakol. Some care has to be taken with names as some have changed and have different international spellings and transliterations.

It needs the national border imported.

Imagery and data sources

Aerial imagery

Aerial imagery has been requested to UNOSAT in July 2010 and is now available for the cities of Osh and Bazar-Korgon. Due to licence reasons, the WMS URL cannot be shared publicly. Please contact Frédéric Bonifas (fredericbonifas@gmail.com) if you are interested.

All data traced from this imagery should be credited "source=UNOSAT, e-geos".

This photo is 1 month old, so no need to map temporary stuff like "SOS" written on the ground.

Other

• ReliefWeb maps : Maps produced by various NGOs
• Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection : PD unless otherwise indicated
• 1942 survey Soviet maps

Non mapping datas

For better understanding of the satellite picture we can look photos taken in the city. There is some on flicker for exampe. - For Osh : http://www.flickr.com/map?&fLat=40.5373&fLon=72.8125&zl=5

Mapping coordination

There is a huge need to map the cities of Osh and Jalal-Abad

It would be good to use QualityStreetMap to monitor the completeness.

Tasks

• There is currently a big area tagged landuse=residential over the city of Osh. However, the contour is not precise at all and it could be useful to redefine it precisely.

Mapping priorities

1. All the streets and roads
2. Landuse and equipments such as bridges, towers, factories etc
3. Buildings : it will allow an easy placement of POIs later, even without a GPS

Mapping of Osh

All tags highway=residential/unclassified/track/path waterway=canal bridge=yes railway=rail/level_crossing are complete in east of river Ak-Buura

Data quality

• Geometry and tagging: OSMInspector
• Geometry and tagging (other): KeepRight
• Completeness: QualityStreetMap
