Minor update July 2015
 

Just removed a few places that have disappeared and added the updates mentioned on the forum above.

Sorry I'd intended sending you these when I left KAZ. I think they're mostly pretty useful, fuel in sparse areas etc.

Meant to include this in the file also

I have also some waypoints for the list.

Some Hotels and gas stations in the stans which do not longer exist and some new ones , spezially gas stations in northern Uzbekistan

But it will take some days

Just emailed you some more points, between Almaty and Barnaul (inc KYRG). There are two deletions there also, which I hope is clear (Closed fuel stations)

On this way I also found some closed Gas stations.

So that can be very important when you slowly run out of gas and rely on the gas stations:mchappy:

Ian - I found out today that you can import waypoints into maps.me as well
I exported them from basecamp as a .KML file and saved it to the same folder that maps.me placed my bookmarks file in on my phone.

Walter- a question for you
 

Just a thought:
Would it not be simpler (and less work for you) if anyone wishing to contribute any points/tracks/ alterations relevant to this section etc just posted these in this thread?

I think someone with Mr Colebatch's experience needs to moderate them, otherwise we'd just as well put them onto OSM.

..:confused: - could you please elaborate?

The reasons IMHO are:

1. To compile into a single file.

2. To deal with deletions (closed gas stations etc).

3. To filter the amount of waypoints, i.e. avoid too many of the same type close to each other.

OK thanks Ian I understand your thinking.
It does put the onus on Walter to keep checking/deleting/updating/uploading which he may not wish to continue to do and/or make demands on his time which he may or may not have
.
IMHO, now most of the work has been done, it is a simple thing for anyone interested to amend their own once new places become recommended and/or amended.

Over to you Walter

I dont mind either way. if people want to just post wps here and each user collates them thats fine.

In any case, i will still produce an edited version both for myself and for sharing here. My experience is that most peoples WPs are a data dump from their trip and 80% of WPs I get I already have or cut them out due to not being particularly relevant. Unless each uploader is editing the WPs according to a consistent set of rules, someone else will need to do it anyway. Either the end user or someone like myself.

A significant effort
 

Exactly so.
It's a specialist resource and pretty much only because it is overseen by the original poster.
All credit to him. :thumbup1:

Here lies a database of waypoints for North Asia, but there is nothing obvious elsewhere in the HUBB for, say, Europe, South Asia etc.
There are random postings with tracks and routes and waypoints attached but no overall, coherent data monitored and edited by someone or other.

The ones I've sent, and am still collecting, are all hand-picked!
