[Talk-bd] Mapping for World Cup Cricket 2011

[Ishtiaque Ahmed]

Today we took more than 150 waypoints for World cup. We are focusing on,
roads, hotels, hospitals, police stations, bus stations and visiting places
of Dhaka city for the tourists.

We are also making a software for iphone which will help them in getting
places. We are transfering the long-lat data into an excel file and then
searching for nearest attribute given the user's GPS position.

We soon will update the map with newer points. We will release our software
a few days before the world cup.

Thanks,
Ishtiaque
