[Talk-in] Any OpenStreet Mapping Party in Bangalore?

[Ishan Chattopadhyaya]

Hi Vignesh,
I would say having ordinary GPS enabled smartphones is just fine for most
mapping activity one would like to take up. A clear view to sky will bring
in desired precision. Adding more POIs (shops etc.) and tagging more
unnamed streets could be a start for the mapping party.
Regards,
Ishan
