=== About OpenStreetMap ===

[http://openstreetmap.org OpenStreetMap] offers an online map which is updated by the minute. Various tools and services allow data extracts for GIS specialists, Routable Garmin GPS data, OSMAND, and other device-compatible downloads. With an internet connection, regular syncing is possible with open access to the community contributed data as it comes in, with OpenStreetMap's bulk data downloads ideal for use offline. In addition, maps can also be printed to paper.

[http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/8.5612/-10.1353&layers=H Browse the map] to get a feel for the data we have available. Different map styles can be selected on the right side.

See [[Downloading data]] for instructions on getting large scale map data. See [[Shapefiles]] if you need this format.

'''HOT Activates'''

=== Tools, Adaptation and Services ===

The various OSM developers communicate over internet through various communication channels. In 2013 they implemented the new [http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/11.2461/124.9975&layers=H Humanitarian Map Style], a map more adapted to humanitarian actions. This map, hosted by OpenStreetMap - France, is integrated in various online map tools.

The Tasking Manager and the JOSM editor are essential parts of this Activation. As new imagery are available, new jobs are added to the Tasking Manager. It has allowed HOT to coordinate efforts of mappers around the world. Some days there were more then 200 simultaneous mappers registered on the Task Manager and editing mainly with the JOSM editor. Online editors are also used for less intensive mapping. [http://learnosm.org LearnOSM.org] offers learning material for beginners and more advanced mappers.

=== How to add to JOSM===

It's easy to add special imagery to JOSM from the task manager jobs, where an imagery URL is provided within the task manager. Clicking the URL should trigger JOSM remote control to add the new imagery as a layer. For more details see [[OSM Tasking Manager/Setting up JOSM]]

=== Bing ===

[[Bing]] is the 'default' Imagery available for OSM (default option in most editors). The Bing imagery coverage in this part of Africa is pretty low, all of the key towns and much of the wider area has no Bing coverage.

* Officier SIG MSF-CH déployé en Guinée Conakry - 18 Avril 2014 : "Aux équipes/ communautés OSM et HOT, Avant toute chose et une fois de plus, nous voudrions vous transmettre nos vifs remerciements à chaque individu actif dans cette réponse de crise. Votre travail est un don pour celles et ceux engagés dans la réponse sur le terrain. Votre cartographie à l'échelle du bâti sur de si larges théâtres d'opération est une aide immense et précieuse pour nos équipes mobiles, ainsi que pour les nombreux internationaux récemment arrivés et nécessitant un briefing sur la dynamique notamment spatiale de l'épidémie. Identifier, localiser et accéder à des lieux de peuplement reculés est très souvent une course contre le temps dès lors que quelques heures peuvent faire la différence et pour les patients, et pour arriver à temps de façon à prévenir de nouvelles contaminations et d'enrayer ainsi la propagation de l'épidémie. L'utilisation conjointe des savoirs de terrain mobilisables et des cartes OSM ou produites à partir de données OSM nous a permis de gagner en efficacité, d'améliorer par des gains de temps l'élasticité de notre réponse.

* Officier SIG MSF-CH déployé en Guinée Conakry - 2 Avril 2014 : "Un profond merci de la part de l'équipe d'urgen de Gueckedou et Macenta pour toutes celles et ceux d'OSM et HOT actifs dans cette réponse ! Votre travail par sa rapidité d'execution et sa qualité est très au-delà de nos attentes initiales. Les jeux de cartes faits de vos données, sitôt partagés avec nos équipes de terrain, ont reçu un accueil enthousisaste aussi de la part des internationaux que des nationaux. Dans ce moment de lutte contre la propagation de l'épidémie, le fait de sentir votre présence et d'éprouver et bénéficier de ce soutien de la communauté globale des cartographes fait vraiment chaud au coeur.
