KolKata Mapping

Publicado por thevikas o 12 de Xuño de 2009 en English.

This party includes only me. Accidentally went over Calcutta OSM map today and realized that it is totally missing! Where are the mappers? Really, some cities get totally lost like nobody in that town is a G33K! Anyway, just some standard streets were visible authored mostly by non-locals. So took this as the next mission. Myself not a local from Kolkata, West Bengal, IN. But having lived in Southern Part of that city for 7 years, I think my memory can supply enough POIs. :)

Me using Potlatch for many days now. Anyway, since i don’t have any trails, thats the only way I can map that town sitting a thousand kilometres away. Just mapped my first home beside the Golf Course to start with - The Golf Greens. Then Jodhpur Park where I lived for the second part. Noticed that Google Earth on Ubuntu won’t load this area. Strange, I was at 50 km altitude but still getting hopeless tiles. Anyway, since potlatch runs on Yahoo Ariel Maps, I was kinda lucky. Finally concluded todays session with Gariahat Road and Gol Park. The tile links may not show much if your calender shows June 13. It’ll take a day for renderers to finish painting these tiles. Try changing to T@H and you might just see it faster.

The ride through the virtual world activated lots of memories of my school days. Have not POIed any of my homes or college or school or that cinema hall where I watched my first Hollywood flick - The Jurasic Park. Ah, those days. :) Will keep mapping for next few days till as long I get find it interesting. central areas like Esplanade or Park Street would most definately be mapped I think. Also noticed that India’s First real underground metro railway is totally missing! Shame! I would be able to help there cause I only know the first six stations. So its done for tonight.

Localización: Lake Gardens, Rajendra Prasad Colony, Kolkata, West Bengal, 700045, India

Yes, India has about 30 Yahoo hires areas!! (see osm.org/browse/relation/324844) Where are the mappers!?! By the way Rewari is not hires - where did you get the data from?

I mostly use Holux data logger and MobileTrailExplorer for POIs. Just recently used potlatch for some delhi.
