In October 2016, the CGIS YouthMappers’ held a map-a-thon event to contribute to the Peace Corp efforts in Botswana. The aim of this Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) task is to contribute to a better base map for 45 sites in Botswana. The group of mappers mapped buildings and roads that would ultimately support long-term development and HIV projects in Botswana. The group used both OpenStreetMap and MapSwipe for the map-a-thon.
At the map-a-thon, the CGIS YouthMappers’ did not only contribute to the HOT efforts, but it was also a great social event to round off a great year.
