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.
- Mwiche [2025-02-01..2025-04-07]: Added several substations around the country, using the available satellite images.
- Mwiche [2025-02-01..2025-04-07]: I was able to extend lines between connecting adjacent substations.
- Mwiche [2025-02-01..2025-04-07]: Connected several lines to the grid
Encountered problems and places to improve
- Mwiche [2025-04-07]: The satellite images is not that good for most regions, all three images had to be used in combination.
- Mwiche [2025-04-07]: Many urban towers are still missing and lines could not be connected to substation in urban areas.
- Mwiche [2025-04-07]: The grid still has some line splits and routing issues that still needs to be fixed.
- Mwiche [2025-04-07]: For some lines voltages are still missing.
- Mwiche [2025-04-07]: A lot of substations are missing meta data information
Use of mapping strategies
Mapping strategies refer to Power networks/Guidelines#Mapping strategies. They are used for a methodical improvement of the OSM database. Once you have fully applied a strategy in this country, you should add or update your name, the date, the strategy, and a comment below. This way, other users can see whether it is worthwhile to carry out further investigations.
