Garlyk Potash Plant in Lebap

Posted by apm-wa on 2 April 2017 in English.

I traveled with the rest of the diplomatic corps to the new potash mine and processing plant near Garlyk, Lebap welayat. Used the Garmin GPS to collect railroad GPS traces to the last station, then Pocket Earth on my iPhone to collect GPS traces of the new road paved from there to the plant. Uploaded all traces yesterday and corrected the rail route, then added a new section of road. The GPS function on the iPhone drains the battery quickly so I used a backup battery nearly the entire trip. The rail car had a 220-volt outlet so I could keep the Garmin GPS charged. The traces are public so anybody can see/use them.

Location: Koytendag District, Lebap Region, Turkmenistan
