[Talk-bd] Cooch Behar Esquimos

[Larry O'Neill]

Hi Brendan,

This is fantastic news!
If it would be possible to get vector data for the map that would be ideal.
CDR is fine, we should be able to figure out a way to convert to global
co-ordinates for use with OSM.
In the meantime, I'll do some preliminary work with the pdf.
The OSM data in this region is minimal, so this will be a great addition.

Thanks
Larry
