Mapping process and community
Mapping success stories
Success stories are designed to highlight important contributions. Have you significantly improved the cartography of a country (added a new line, a power station, etc.)? Don't be shy, let us know below.
- User:Fanfouer [2025-04-10]: Improved 230 kV transmission network in west Guayaquil, starting from Chorillos substation
Encountered problems and places to improve
- 500 kV transmission network is currently under heavy development, according to government authorities. We currently lack knowledge of some sections, particularly on norther parts
Use of mapping strategies
Mapping strategies refer to Power networks/Guidelines#Mapping strategies. They are used for a methodically improvement of OSM database. Once you fully applied a strategy on this country, you should add your name, date, strategy and comment below. In this way, other user can see if it worth to engage new investigations.
