Just out of curiosity, how much would it cost to get maps for a local
area digitised in the 3rd world? Say a collective whip around of
organisations who would benefit from free maps. I've absolutely no idea
of how many person hours it would take to digitise the area of, say, a
UK 1:25,000 map area.
