Gobichettipalayam is the second largest urban city in Erode district, Tamilnadu, India. It is known for the green rice fields, because of that many Tamil movies were shot here. It is in human nature to start any task from a place you already know, since I was born and brought up in this town I started my mapping here.

Quality of map before mapping:

When I started mapping most of the roads in Northern part of my town was already mapped, but some roads are named wrong. In case of POIs, there is little to no information on the map and most of the schools, Banks, Petrol pumps, community centres were not mapped. So I planned to proceed by matching the road density in the southern part of my town to the northern part and then concentrate on adding the POIs.

Things I mapped:

1. I started by adding major and minor roads in the southern part of my town with the help of OpenStreetMap wiki for tags while correcting some road names in the northern part.

2. Then I mapped POIs like Banks, ATMs, Schools, community centers, government offices, petrol pumps, Department stores etc., that I am sure of its location.

3. After this I moved on to adding addition informations like bridges, bus stops and farmlands.

Quality of map after mapping:

Future plans:

1. Adding road names.

2. Map the missing buildings along with addresses.

3. Add all the missing POIs.
