Good morning!

I’m so sorry that I couldn’t help because I live far far away from there.

But I would like to pray for Puerto Rico to get out from severe condition and relieved.

Hey Glenn

The point of this post is that you do not need to go there.

You can help them by using your map editing skills from home.

Love & Gratitude

I am using Google Map to plot out Way Points and Routes on my InReach Explorer… my map can be found here: Rumbo Ha Guanica . You will need to zoom out and find Puerto Rico to see the waypoints and routes. I would like help and advice as I plot these out. My goal is to update the closed roads which are displayed so that others can use the routes and waypoints in the future…

I’m tired of being asked to pay to read NYT. Washington Post is the same. Can’t they just spam me with ads. I know something that can help them with that (hint: it’s Google). Sorry, unrealted. Good post.

Hello,

I stumbled upon this post and I can personally attest to the value of maps in Puerto Rico. I grew up and lived in Puerto Rico and after last year’s hurricanes volunteers from afar came and needed maps. Here is a blog post in which I was invited to write about the experience:
