Improving the details around Central Station at Thiruvananthapuram
Posted by PlaneMad on 16 March 2016 in English.Always satisfying to go into the map and add some sugar. Especially in the town centre.
This is the main station in Thiruvananthapuram a city of close to 1 million in India.

Cool!
Btw, I know nothing of mapping in India - is it common to have traffic signals as landmarks? (the Chenthitta Signal in SE corner of the map)

Yes, we don’t have a consistent addressing scheme or street signages in India. Finding a home usually involves asking for a landmark like an important junction, building or shop and then asking the local people for the exact house.

Great to see your edits. As a person who has lived in Trivandrum for two years, nice to see the city gaining more details in OSM.
