Project-1
I'm just starting this project in order to have Cameroun map on the project. Stéphane Kamga
27 February 2008 I have been adding data based on Yahoo satellite photos. Unfortunately, key parts of Cameroon are covered by clouds. Also, tarred roads are hard to see against the green background of forests and farms.
Since I don't have access to the correct road names (not allowed to copy from Google maps or other proprietary sources) I have been naming roads based on the principle towns they connect.
The Wikipedia is a good source for the coordinates of cities and major towns.

Project-2
From March 2010 until Juli 2010 we are preparing a mapping project with a Cameroon student studying in Berlin (Germany). The main goal of this project is to establish a group of mappers in Cameroon, to equip them with mapping devices and to train them, so that they are able to map all streets of Cameroon. The project will be launched in Cameroon in August 2010. The initial training period for approx. 60 mappers will be 8 weeks. The project is financally supported with money for devices and for local training in Cameroon by a German provider of telematics solutions: ENAiKOON GmbH. Details about ENAiKOON can be found on the web page of ENAiKOON
