Projects with overlap are re-prioritized for expedited mapping and validation. 31 December 2022 - All mapping projects on Tasking Manager and MapRoulette complete. Community Contact 10 October 2022 - The Latin America Open Mapping Hub begins internal inquiries for local community contacts Coordination HOT Coordinator(s): Céline Jacquin, Senior Manager, Community Programs in Open Mapping Hub - Latin America (celine.jacquin@hotosm.org) Local Lead(s): Still seeking Support Team Support team member(s): Sam Colchester, Impact Partnerships at Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (sam.colchester@hotosm.org) For Mappers Thank You! This disaster activation is complete. How You Can Contribute Learn to Map Most of our volunteer needs are for remote OSM contributors, visit LearnOSM.org to get started. Mapping Priority Please choose from highest priority first Experienced mappers are also asked to participate in validating completed tasks. Information on validating can be found here Project Priority Location What to map Imagery Source Task Mapping Status Task Validation Status COMPLETE/ARCHIVED Project 13620 Complete Izabal Lowlands East Highways, Waterways Maxar Complete Complete Project 13623 Not Used Izabal Lowlands West Highways, Waterways Maxar Not Used Not Used Project 12017 Complete Izabal - El Estor Sur Buildings Maxar Complete Complete Project 11907 Complete Izabal - Los Amates Norte Buildings Maxar Complete Complete Project 12018 Complete Izabal - El Estor Este Buildings Maxar Complete Complete Available Imagery MAXAR should be used for mapping in this area. The resolution is a bit poor to expect beginner mappers to digitize well in dense areas. OSM Default Imagery Sources Maxar Maxar (formerly DigitalGlobe) provides its Premium layer and this has been found to be the most up-to-date imagery. Bing Bing provides a global imagery data source that is the 'default' Imagery available for OSM (default option in most editors). Alternative Imagery Sources How to add/use Alternative Imagery In many cases better imagery is available than the default; when possible we set up a remote link directly via the Tasking Manager, so there is nothing to do, the iD editor and (as long as enabled) JOSM will automatically add the imagery. Additionally, with JOSM, it's relatively easy to add special imagery if the license is appropriate for tracing into OSM. For more details see JOSM Imagery Help
