Update of th satellite view, roads and footprint of the new developed area of Darajani souk

Just restored and opened a few days before our arrive in Zanzibar, the Darajani Souk is a key asset in the tourism promotion plan of the archipelago of Zanzibar for the upcoming day.
As often occurs on new developed areas (as better explained here) the representation on the map was still presented the old state of the area, with some uncomleted buildings and overall, without the new market (souk in arab) which is part of the promotional plan to improve the tourism in the island.
How We Solve This Project
The first important thing was to capture an updated version of the area, to renew the satellite view on maps, but overall as base for the redraw of the position of the actual buildings.
Once done, we identified each street in the complex with its name, and created the files to be sent to Google to update the area which, in a couple of weeks, appeared on Google Maps.
