[Tagging] Proposing bazaars

[pavithran]

First of all I am using a non native english name called 'bazaar'
which most of you might have heard from 'cathedral and bazaar' .
What is bazaar ?
Shopping streets in developing countries tend to be very narrow and
are buzzing with activity . They are heavily crowded with less chance
of trucks,cars,auto rikshaws,motorcycles and bicylces passing through
them . But nevertheless they do pass through them somehow or the other
. The traffic is haphazard .

How to map bazaar ?
 Mapping shops in bazaars is completely impossible(atleast to show)
with current zoom level . Its also hard to accurately get a point with
just a tracker . Being physically present with a specially designed
POI collector could help map the bazaars which are closely connected .

How to tag ?
Well I started a wiki page which could be further expanded .
