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 .
