2. Melbourne, VIC, Australia

OSM map for Melbourne shows that many suburbs lack information about services, such as shops, restaurants, banks.

E.g. Footscray, Glenhuntly, Ormond.

Works to be done :

• • Surveying places at free time, usually at weekend.
• • Adding services by a mobile app. Currently i’m using Pushpin.
• • One POI should include : name of service, operating hours, addresses, type of product (i..e cuisine), telephone numbers.

–> This project can be done in group work. Each person takes charge of one section of the area.
