Third time we went to St. Genest to finish big mapping project Bois Ternay-Croix du Treve near St. Etienne, France. Since spring last year already seven czech mapmakers has been working there because of different reasons. First time Krtek, Even and me, during last summer Radims, Ma and Rysk and now again Even, me, Rysk and Jirka Dank, who has a premiere here. First week we started very hard-11 hours of mapping each day. Map was finally finished today and we move tomorrow for the next project-Peillout hill. We prepare basemaps late night, watchin' Tiomila on web. Thanks to Genvieve for perfect catering during our stay in Gte des Haux Plateaux in La Blache.
Original SHOCart map seems to be good for the first view. The reality in terrain was different. Unbalanced quality, bad contours probably taken without correction from common basemap, some places with deformed directions or not visited. It is clear that the map was made by more mapmakers with different skills. For French conditions of 90's probably good, for today good to leave it in the pocket and make brand new.
