Progress Summary
Claudius started tracing streets and landuse from Yahoo satellite imagery in mid 2008. Some place and street names were given by locals.
After February 2010, Kesler as an active local mapper contributed an important role on naming streets and correcting one-way roads, also completing non-mapped area and POIs.
For the progress status, see the current state of the map.
