    <p>Hello Adrian and Telenav-team.</p>
    <p>Welcome in Belgium, the more support, the merrier.</p>
    <p>First of all, there is quite an active community in Belgium - I'm
      one of them, as are several others. As already mentioned, the
      matrix-chat is an excellent way to reach out to us and have
      questions answered quite fast - please join us here:
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://riot.im/app/#/room/#osmbe:matrix.org">https://riot.im/app/#/room/#osmbe:matrix.org</a><br>
    </p>
    <p>Second, I was wondering where you are based - the best way to map
      is by using local knowledge and by running around to see what the
      situation is. Also, being here IRL will allow us to meetup or to
      get in touch with the OpenKnowledge Belgium - they do great work
      for Open Source and Open Data.<br>
      <br>
      However, I presume that you will mostly be doing remote work,
      based on official data and mapillary streetview. This too can be
      useful, but the situation of Brussels is quite volatile and might
      change a lot. Don't be afraid to to ask us (or a local) to check
      up on the situation.</p>
    <p>At last, a lot of cyclists are using OSM in Brussels - the
      company I work for even hosts  a professional cycle route planner
      for the city. Please, be careful not to break it. Especially when
      adding 'oneway=yes', this might force the routeplanner to consider
      this oneway <i>for cyclists as well.</i> Please, if it is clear
      that cyclists are allowed to go both ways, add 'oneway:bicycle=no'
      or, even better, add the appropriate cycleway tags
      ('cycleway=lane', 'cycleway=track', ...)</p>
    <p>Kind regards,<br>
      Pietervdvn<br>
