Hi Guys, Today I was happened to see this page ( link) which shows the contributors' map worldwide. Most of the other countries have Gold Level Editors. Unfortunately we have none. However in our region they are thinly spread. But in Nepal situation is somewhat different. Being a lesser developed country than ours, their density of gold editors is more than Europe has. Then I had a look at the Nepali OSM map. It is Wonderfully complete. Some 4 years ago I have been to Kathmandu City for an official visit. The comparison I guessed was, Kathmanudu was like 1980 - 1985's Colombo. Other than that they had a 20 hour power-cut!!! But their IT literacy might be overwhelming. What I wanted to point-out here is the main usage of the OSM map is for navigation, though it has many usages. But, most of our editors, having no clue, tend to draw local house roofs without even putting house numbers while we have many many un-sketched tertiary level paved roads and lots of erroneously drawn existing roads. So, guys please draw/rectify roads. Please give names if you know. Please mark POIs. Thanks.  But we have only 5 purple editors.  |

Actually sad truth is we have only 5 or 6 active mappers for Sri lanka. what we can do is spread the word of open street map in over country, else its very very hard to cover one country for 5-6 people.

මට කියනවද කොහොමද map edit කරන්න සෙට් වෙන්නේ කියල? Hi, 1. it is not rocket science. 2. Open "Open Street Map" 3. Signup. 4. Locate a place where you want to edit. 5. Go to Edit tab, use ID editer or Potlatch editer. 6. Do your edit as you wish and save. BUT.....
1. Start with very very small things.
2. Never touch major roads/POIs (point of interest) until you are confidant.
3. If by any chance you feel you did something erroneous, exit immediately without saving.
4. Closely look at developed countries.
5. Always try to add a new road or a POI.
6. Respect others (DO NOT DELETE, AMEND or RE-SAVE others' work without a justifiable reason).
7. Mark something if you really know or clearly visible.
8. Never mark false things.

If satellite image is not clear enough best is tying to use GPX (gps log files). |

Could you please ask those guys to cotribute to OSM Sri Lanka map by editing or uploading their electronic records? Though the current map is somewhat OK, there are lots of things things to be added or amended. Since the map editing should be done by responsible people, Lakdasun members are really fit for that. By the way, I know some of them are using the OSM map for their explorations/ecpeditions too. |

What's your opinion about "elakiri" forums? There are many threads related to Navigation. |

To be frank with you, I think it is not suitable to disclose OSM mapping to everyone since some of them are not responsible and mature enough. Currently we have a great map thanks to handfull of great people. My opinion is revealing this golden egg laying hen to all, might be counter productive. For instance please see Pakistani OSM map which is a total crap. By the other hand Lakdasun is an ideal community in that respect. |
