Body mapping methods are used in sexual and reproductive health studies to encourage candid discussion of sex and sexuality, pleasure and pain, sickness and health, and to understand individuals' perceptions of their bodies. VOICE-D, a qualitative follow-up study to the VOICE trial, developed and used a body map tool in the context of individual in-depth interviews with women in South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. The tool showed the outline of a nude female figure from the front and back perspective. We asked women to identify, label, and discuss genitalia and other body parts associated with sexual behaviors, pain, and pleasure. Respondents could indicate body parts without having to verbalize potentially embarrassing anatomical terms, enabling interviewers to clarify ambiguous terminology that may have otherwise been open to misinterpretation. Body maps provided women with a non-intimidating way of discussing and disclosing their sexual practices, and minimized miscommunication of anatomical and behavioral terminology.
The value of baseline vulnerability maps was therefore not yet understood. Baseline vulnerability maps could however reduce uncertainty in understanding the risks to humans and wildlife from oil and gas extraction and could be used in adaptive management. It could also present an impartial scientific base for resource management during extraction of oil and gas resources.

Accuracy-enhanced solar resource maps of South Africa (May 2015)
The process of accuracy enhancement of GHI and DNI high-resolution solar maps for South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland, based on regional adaptation of Solargis solar model with data measured at fourteen high-standard solar measuring stations. The study was presented at SASEC2015 conference and achieved Outstanding paper award in solar resource session.
Kruger Park Info MapThis useful Kruger Park Info Map infographic highlights the different areas of Kruger National Park plus fun wildlife and historical facts, rainfall, elevation, vegetation and geology maps.
Maps of Kruger Park RegionsThe various regions of Kruger National Park are the key to understanding the distribution of its wild inhabitants. The Far Northern region extends south from the River Limpopo.
The aim of this academy is to improve the use of maps in DHIS2 as a means of displaying data and how to integrate other/outside sources of data, including population data, into country/district/facility maps.
Implementation: Focuses on use of the Maps app for Immunization campaign planning (micro planning) and disease surveillance using latest features and population sources. This will include countries building maps to complement their current Excel/REDREC tools.
I'm still exploring my options for directions, trying to decide whether to buy SA maps for our GPS, download Google maps onto my phone assuming I have the space or purchasing Wifi for the car rental or a large data plan on my phone so we can use Google maps while driving.
I'm not sure about SA but I sometimes find my GPS to be unreliable at times for directions in comparison to Google maps. What has your experience been? I will print out individual google map directions before leaving as a backup but ideally we could use GPS or our phone to navigate. My fear however is that we would get bad directions while in SA or have my GPS tell me it doesn't recognize a location. That being said, I doubt live Google maps will work well in remote areas like the Panorama route? And there will be times we need directions for unplanned things we decide to do while there so downloaded/printed maps won't be enough.
I am an over planner. I print out google maps and have a good idea of where I'm going before we go. Then on the odd occasion I miss a turn (I'm the navigator even when I'm driving because my husband doesn't plan) I just use google maps and that nice blue dot that tells me where I am and see where I should be. If you are a little confused, stop at a gas staton and ask a driver (generally the attendants don't drive so aren't able to help) for directions. Everyone is very nice and will help - too helpful sometimes. :)
The best GPS ever is Waze. In addition to the maps, the best is that it has up to minute traffic information, so it gives you alternative routes accordingly. I use it everyday in (ta && ta.queueForLoad ? ta.queueForLoad : function(f, g)document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', f);)(function()ta.trackEventOnPage('postLinkInline', 'impression', 'postLinks-80214753', '');, 'log_autolink_impression');Johannesburg (have even used it in less urban areas all over SA), even when I know exactly where I'm going. And it's free!
I use a combo of Navmii and downloading offline maps for google where ever I travel. IT works great. NAvmii also has a lot of walking routes on it. Just be wary of Navmii as it does the route more as the crow flies so don't rely on it for timings. I've still been told I have an hour to go even when i've been 2km from my destination.
