Hi.
Even here in Germany I would say there is no place where nothing is left
to do.
Of course we can go sleeping where we are as good as Navteq and
Teleatlas are.
We can propose complete car navigation and interpolated addresses as the
"target".
But there is much more possible with OSM:
- Pedestrian routing with information about sidewalks - availlable
somewhere, but nearly nowhere complete, even in Germany.
- Width of streets, lane numbers etc - very sparse in the database as
far as I see it yet.
- Location of entrances to buildings
And even if that seems to be complete - is it correct? Is it current?
If anybody tells me there is NOTHING left to do, I would like to see,
where - I'm sure, there is.
Of course: mapping from scratch on a white paper often is more fun;
there is more change visible; but that's the big issue for OSM: We have
to keep the data up to date - and if that's not enough work, we can go
beyond the completeness of competitors datasets.
regards
Peter

Out of interest where do you live? I see you are based in India but where?
I know that Germany, for example, has 'nothing left to do' in many places but
I didn't know India was also reaching the same level.
