At OpenStreetMap, a large download of the map of Georgia, created by volunteers, has begun

First, a beautiful video with beautiful music:


On the map of the planet Earth there are less and less white spots. This time we are pleased with our neighbor Georgia .

As I already wrote , last year, under the auspices of the organization Open Map Caucasus (OMC), volunteers created an electronic map of Georgia . Up to 500 people worked on the map. The beta version of the map is already available on mapspot.ge , and the files for downloading are available on the website jumpstartinternational.org .

So, a large-scale import of all this cartographic information across Georgia to the OpenStreetMap site has begun recently, which is, of course, very cool. This is a generous gift site. Judging by the project page, the import has already been completed in Imereti , Guria and Svaneti . The resulting map of Georgia can be viewed on the website . Naturally, all this can be downloaded from your navigator ( map of Georgia for Garmin , map of Georgia for Sitigid , how to make a map of Georgia for Navitel , a map of Georgia for PocketGIS , a map of Georgia for Gis Russ, you may be helped here ) or view it through special applications for your iPhone , Android phone, or any other phone that supports Java applications .

Open Map Caucasus (OMC) is a project of the American non-profit organization type 501 (c) (3) JumpStart International . By law, this is the same type of organization as the Wikimedia Foundation .

They write on the site that they need help , so if you can help, join .

UPD: As you probably know in Google Maps (as I understand it, they use their own data) in place of Georgia is almost empty space . The situation in Bing (AND data) and Ovi (NAVTEQ data) is no better. And in Yandex - nothing at all .

UPD2: Information in Georgian .
