Great job for the addresses. May I ask how did you do that? Did you use ASIG data as layover and copy it, or did you import them directly? I want to add the addresses to other areas too but manually copying the data is a pain, so if you got any tricks up your sleeve, please do share.

Thanks for your contribution!!

Hi @ibanez! Thank you very much for mapping Albania and I'm glad my personal challenge motivated you.

Regarding the ESRI imagery, as far as I have explored and mapped around Albania, the ESRI imagery is very bad in quality, and it hurts my eyes after a couple of minutes of mapping. I realize that Bing imagery might have some issues, but I think it is better to have a slightly smaller/bigger building with a little offset than nothing at all. If i use ESRI i will not be able to map as much as i do now. I am open to tips and tricks and i can also share some screenshots of the difference in quality between the two imagery if you want.

Hey,
the issue with Esri is that the quality is very bad for the biggest part of Albania.

Thank you and good job to you too!

Hey silversurfers83, i was checking the wiki article and Donut Master edit. He has added school ground in the area where the school ground is located. What is wrong with this edit?

Their latest building data is from 10 years ago, from 2015. Also, they do not have an open or permissive license to use the data. That is a huge problem because that is data created using public money, and it should be open by default. Unfortunately, that data is too old and also closed, so it can not be used. Satellite imagery to add building is much more reliable.

Which data, that the Albanian government has with an open license can be used to map buildings more accurately than satellite imagery?

I would really appreciate if you can point me to the data i can use. Thank you!
