One of the sіgnіfіcant drivers of socіo-economic development of a country іs the access to electricity which contributes a lot in health, education, agriculture and environmental sustaіnabіlіty(Kemausuor, Obeng, Brew-Hammond, & Duker, 2011). In Zimbabwe, the current approach of designing of electrical power lines is flawed and leads to time consuming and wastage of resources.
Since the beginning of 2010s, OSM has developed into an advanced system for preserving and analyzing geographical and thematic data on spatial objects. The need for 3D information is rising quickly. In some circumstances, such as those involving noise prediction models, water flood models, air pollution models, and geological models, 2D analysis has proven to have drawbacks. The requirement for 3D geo-information has also been answered by 3D urban planning, environmental monitoring, telecommunications, public rescue operations, and landscape design, among other fields(Stoter & Zlatanova, 2003).
