Current mapping state of Mali rendered in OSMarender

Mapping Mali is still in very early stages. Allmost no gps- tracks exist for this region, and high resolution Yahoo imagery is completely absent. Only Bamako has relatively good Bing imegery.

Things that are done
- Cities
- Some of the mayor cities exist as a single node.
- Not much residential streets even in the bigger cities due to lack of datasources (imagery, GPS tracks etc.
- Highways
- Some of the mayor highways are mapped, often with gps tracks as a source.
- The vmap0 dataset is imported in the openstreetmap database, the accuracy of the data is not very good, but it is a start. The highways are tagged as "road" and fixme=check import. People with local knowledge might be able to clarify the highway class. The fixme tag should IMHO stay until someone has verified the way with a GPS.
