after four years of being on osm, ive finally touched the mumbai map, and also gotten around to write my first diary entry, something i should have done lot sooner. Ever since the messed up AND data was imported for Mumbai, i knew that fixing it was going to be a huge pain, and it is.

Although ive been editing whichever city ive been travelling to, ive not gone anywhere near the mumbai osm map for the fear of getting entangled into the huge cleanup process. unfortunately the existing data seemed to have put off anyone else from editing too, and has remained just as it was for the past three years.

Its about time somebody did the dirty work. Been editing the whole day, trying to fix the arterial corridors like the national highways and the wester/eastern express highways, and also add the railway lines. Also got trigger happy with the delete button on unnamed AND roads that crossed my path, ive figured its not of much use and only ends up confusing everyone. hopefully this should serve as a good reference point for others.
