Country Requests

[vespax]

We would like to utilize this with a few countries.

Brazil, Turkey, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo.

It's been great for our efforts in Mexico! Thanks.

Thanks for submitting a request for countries @vespax ! The good news is that Nigeria and Tanzania are already covered :). We will keep a record of the other countries and keep you updated once they become available. You can follow the steps below to start mapping in Nigeria and Tanzania:

(1) On the map component of our website, you can find the marker for Nigeria in the minimap and click on it, and that'll move the map center to Onitsha, Nigeria:

(2) Then click the "Start Mapping" button, and it'll open up RapiD focusing on the same location as the in the map of step (1):

(3) For Tanzania, you can follow a simialr process. Feel free to pan around on the map in step (1), and step (2) will always open up RapiD at the same locaiton as in the map.

(4) Alternatively, you can also click "Start Mapping" in the "HOT + RapiD" section. We have 3 open projects there for Nigeria and Tanzania, and you can follow the screenshots below to use RapiD. We will create more open projects there once those projects are completed.

Is there a possibility to involve Egypt as well? With the IMF loan now approved, it is estimated that most of the loan is going to transportation projects.

[vespax]

I'd second Egypt also.

Would Vietnam be doable in the short term?

[rachblevine]

How about Kenya?

[danil-kirsanov]

Thank you for the recommendations! We've added Egypt, Kenya and Vietnam to the short list.

Hi. On behalf of Akros please can I request Zambia, Namibia, Thailand and Botswana are added. We are supporting these countries for health delivery, specifically Malaria Elimination, and this would be very useful. Thanks

Thanks @derekpollard for submitting the requests! The Facebook map editing team has already completed roads mapping in Thailand based on AI-generated roads, so we won't have a plan for generating more data there. Hopefully the roads our team have added can provide a good basis for you guys to build on :).

We will add Zambia, Namibia and Botswana to the page for tracking all country requests.

[derekpollard]

Thank you

Data is now available in Mozambique and Ethiopia! Please refer to our wiki for instruction on how to create projects and use RapiD!

@vespax @Melegy90 @rachblevine Data is now available in Egypt, Kenya, and Vietnam!
Happy mapping! 🗺

[orkutmuratyilmaz]

We would be glad, if we can use it in Turkey too.

Best wishes:)

Colombia please, We are a country that is in the post-conflict and providing this information as a self-recognition effort to live in peace is very important.
