🚶‍♂️ A journey on foot, a project from the heart.

This project began with my own steps — capturing street-level imagery from Daffodil International University to Eastern University, Dhaka, Savar. Using Mapillary, I documented the road to support open mapping.

These images aren’t just photos — they’re vital pieces that will directly support and enhance OpenStreetMap. Every frame contributes to a bigger, collaborative mission: building a better, more accurate map for everyone.

The journey is still ongoing, day by day. Feel free to share any powerful screenshots — let’s map the future, together. 🌍

🎉 We’re honored to share that our chapter has received the Mapping Metrics Award 2024 from YouthMappers! 🏆🗺️ This recognition celebrates high-performing chapters making consistent and quality contributions to OpenStreetMap — and we’re proud to be among them!

Huge thanks to our amazing team of mappers whose hard work and passion made this possible. 💪🌍 Let’s keep mapping for impact and making a difference together! #YouthMappers #MappingForImpact #MappingMetricsAward #OpenStreetMap #OSM #GeoYouth #ProudMoment

“Mapping USA 2025” welcomed participants to join virtually via Zoom for the two-day event between January 24th-25th with times from 11 AM to 3 PM ET. 🌍✨

🌍 A Journey of KNNOrganization, Collaborate, and CONNECTION Besides being a conference the State of the Map Asia 2024 in Cox’s Bazar was an experience that made me feel I am an empowered and global mapper. Held from November 30th to December 1st, 2024, this event truly captured the essence of its theme: “Unite, Inspire, Innovate.” And the best part? I was awarded the Certificate of Participation upon my active participation in this amazing campaign!

🔥 Day 1: 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐊𝐞𝐲 ℚ𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐤 The first day of the map conference State of the Map Asia2024 started with a brilliant and inspiring keynote by Said Turksever from Mapillary&@Meta. His insights into the future of mapping technologies were nothing short of captivating, especially when he raised these two crucial questions: 1) Does Mapillary have certain regulations, or limitations on what and where users can record via their application? 2) What are the further objectives of the Mapillary platform and what updates are further expected from it? These questions raised debates regarding the ethical issues within and the future possibilities of such platforms as Mapillary, thus promising a highly stimulating tone for the whole conference.
