mwim: Malawi Main Roads

[michih]

The preview system has 19 routes for about 2,104 miles. No TM user has any travel so far.
Please report issues here!

[michih]

I found a road list and will peer-review the system down the road.

M1:
Google Maps has the route on a new alignment (OSM shows it u/c) from the MOZ border to south of Nsanje. Please check if the new route is (partially) in service and what needs to be moved.

Just completing the last system of the "summer 2022" review session. I don't plan to start another review before the backlog is cleared - no worry, it's just to "give you a chance".



M2:
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-15.787995&lon=35.013476 for trunk route in Blantyre
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-15.807450&lon=35.058400 for secondary highway in Blantyre
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-15.818712&lon=35.060463 for secondary highway in Blantyre
S151 is off according to satellite view (GM is wrong), I suggest splitting the wp into two, one for each branch as indicated on OSM
Luc -> T421 as indicated on GM?
Cis -> Chi
Move MiniMini to a more major junction, e.g. the next to the east
There are also some airfields along the route which might get a wp?


M3:
Chit --> Chie? GM indicates Chipeta, OSM Chikumbeni, both have a "e"; there is another Chiw wp on the route
M8 is off
Replace Kal - I didn't spot any name around - by wp at the next junction to the south for Namanblo


M4:
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-15.833586&lon=35.084442 for Bangwe


M5:
Replace +X948325 by visible wp in Lifidzi
Replace +X987107 by visible wp for the secondary highway?
Move S108 to the center of the roundabout

T319 is off
Move Kap to a junction
Kan is off
Move Kac to a junction
Tuk is off
Dwa is off
S113 is off
Move Kas to a junction
Move Nkhu to a junction
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-12.519919&lon=34.116583 for Dwangwa Airport

D155 is off
Ngod is off
S127_W is off
S134 is off
Move Cit to a junction
Mku is off


M6:
S208 is off
S208 -> BoaPost for boarder post or BoaArea for boarder area, as OSM nor GM indicate S208?


M7:
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-13.490088&lon=33.922520 for secondary highway
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-13.435450&lon=33.935754 for secondary highway
T341 is off


M9:
Route leaves Malawi near +X116844 according to OSM. GM has the border at a different line but when you click on the Mumba town label, GM indicates Mumba being in Zambia. Please check!
The hidden point +X116844 itself should be replaced by visible wp for Mumba
S100 is off
S101 is off
T331 is off
S105_N is off
Emc is off
Exceeds limits b/n Emc and S105_N

M10:
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-14.317776&lon=35.127663 for the international airport
Mti is slightly off
Pan is off


M11:
Exceeds limits north of +X405470 according to the trail GM calls M11.
Replace +X405470 by visible wp for Ruarwe
In general, I'd say that we should try to add some wps for the villages indicated on GM along the coastline because the dirt track does not look like being a long-distance route.


M12:
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-14.017409&lon=33.332627 for secondary highway
Add wp @ http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-13.845083&lon=33.055565 for secondary highway
