[open-development] NGO Aid Map (Updates & Seeking Feedback)

Mon Dec 1 10:40:44 UTC 2014

Hi Julie,

It's a pitty that on your website google maps is still used. When thinking
about innovation and open development specifically please have a look at
OpenStreetMap and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team:

http://hot.openstreetmap.org/projects/west_africa_ebola_epidemic

Have a look at the difference between the two mapping databases, not to
mention the fact that google maps is a closed system:

http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/#15/6.2945/-10.7728&num=2&mt0=mapnik&mt1=google-map

There is also a humanitarian mapstyle available:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/6.2962/-10.7849&layers=H

@all: It's something that I keep seeing inside OKFN. Please stop thinking
about google/google maps as open while there is a perfect and most of the
time even better alternative.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Ben Abelshausen
