Porto Santo island

Posted by daveemtb on 10 September 2008 in English.

After a few too many hours of Yahoo tracing, I think I've completed Porto Santo island. (As much as I can from tracing, anyway!)

If anyone has some local knowledge, I'm sure there are plenty of improvements to be made, particularly distinguishing surfaced from unsurfaced tracks/roads away from the towns.

I was surprised that an island with such good Yahoo coverage was completely blank last week.

The golf course is a bit of an estimate as it was only under construction when the aerial photos were taken. I suspect the photos are probably outdated in a number of other areas too.

Location: Matas, Vila Baleira, Porto Santo, Madeira, 9400-035, Portugal

Hey, nice work! I will be flying to Madeira on Friday and so I hope to be able to fill in some of the road names and details once I am back. Not sure if I'll get to Porto Santo though. Never the less, I better update my GpsMid again, to make sure I take the very latest version of the map with me. :-)

Thanks :)

Have a nice time! I've done a fair bit of tracing in Madeira too, on the East end of the island, so there are plenty of roads currently highway=road that need tagging properly.
