Rachel, this tool is a gem in the rough. http://kenyageoportal.ca.go.ke/
ca_public/flash/? I absolutely love it bigly. I wish it could be ported to
a more responsive and UX friendly map platform. The LAYERS facility that
enables a user to filter different infrastructure components is great. I
know of people who vacate houses in Nairobi in search of reliable fibre
network. Now here lies the solution.
