Hi,
Thank you for your feedback, as described above, the towers are lined clearly indicating a line and on one end they end close to a substation but I am not sure about the connection to the substation and so I only joined the towers, I am unable to provide any more information besides just being able to see that this is a line from satellite imagery. I believe someone more experienced mapper or perhaps a local would be better suited to take it up.

Hi pitscheplatsch,
Thank you very much for reaching out.

It was not an import, I believe OSM has rules against that. I instead have been trying to fill some gaps in the transmission grid across countries in Africa as a way to just improve the quality of the data available. I am working solely with satelite imagery namely bing, Esri and Mapbox.

So because of this I am only able to map what is visible to me through the images.

Hi Taya,
That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

I will keep it in mind.

Sincerely,

Hi Taya,
Thank you for the consistent feedback. I am still getting better at grid mapping and hence the mistakes, my apologies on that.

You mentioned checking other land use satellites, would you please share more details on that or anything that can help me improve.

I am currently querying overpass into JOSM and then mapping from there.

I can share the script with you if you like.
