Hi all,

Wanted to let you know that I plan on improving the coastline
data throughout India. With the help of Apple, I have posted a
Github page (https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/issues/71
) with more
details on the project and the procedures I will be following.
Let me know if you have any feedback.


Thank you,

Chetan

Re: [Talk-in] Use MapRoulette to improve OSM - India data

2017-03-26 Thread Deepak Cherian 

Clarifying the last question,

There are a number of stations that are unnamed. I can find the nearest 
town, but don't know where to find lists of stations on some route 
through the town.

Hey Srihari,

I found the challenges a lot of fun. Some feedback below

1. The districts are a little confusing because district borders are
shared between two districts. I guess participants are expected to
select the appropriate way and link to the appropriate wikipedia page.
Would be good to clarify that.

2. www.indianrail.gov.in/stn_Code.html does not open. I've been
searching on DuckDuckGoto find the station code so far.

3. What about towns/cities/districts/railway-stations that have no
wikipedia page? Do I say "I fixed it" without changing anything?

4. Some of the railway stations appear to be in the middle of "nowhere".
Do you have any suggestions on how to find their name?

Hi, Deepak!

You have to zoom in a little bit. MapRoulette is trying to load the
visible map on the screen in JOSM.

For districts, as they are relations, zoom in on the boundary. This will
make sure that JOSM download contains the relation.

For cities and towns, as they are mostly nodes, zoom in on the node.

If it still says too much area, just zoom in a little more!

Try these once again and let me know if it worked. If there are
problems, I will check with Martijn of MapRoulette!

Thanks for checking out challenges. Did you find them useful? Any
improvements to be done for them to make them even more efficient and
exciting?
Any other suggestions?

Srihari

Srihari,

Thanks a lot. I just successfully procrastinated through a morning
searching for Indian Railway station codes.

I tried doing Challenges 3,4 but MapRoulette keeps telling me that
the
areas are too large to download the data. How do I get around that?

[Talk-in] CBI google maps

Have you guys seen this?

http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/internet/google-mapping-comes-under-cbi-scrutiny/article6254654.ece?homepage=true

The internet giant had not taken permission from Survey of India,
country’s official mapping agency, before organising a mapping competition
in February-March 2013 when they asked citizens to map their
neighbourhoods, especially details related to hospitals and restaurants.

[Talk-in] Introduction + questions

2012-08-20 Thread Deepak Cherian 
Hi,

I'm in Kochi and am just starting to help map out Kochi and Kerala's crazy
coastline (fixing the PGS coastline). Can someone tell me how to assign
names in Malayalam to roads etc.? JOSM just gives me white boxes.

Thanks,

Deepak
