Welcome to Yelahanka
### 13.1N , 77.5E (degrees) I reside in a place called Judicial Layout near Yelahanka, which is ~21 km north to the Bangalore city. It is skirted by two beautiful campuses namely, the University of Agricultural Science and the Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, making it a perfect escape from the otherwise concrete jungle.

Status prior to my mapping task:
Most of the basic amenities and road networks in and around my residence is already on OSM.
Inclusions made:
I tried to focus on two major aspects:
- Checking for the correctness of the already existing edits.
- Adding features that were overlooked.
List of features that I tried including into the OSM:
- Tagging my home, adding street names, clinics, agricultural fields, eatery, parks and buildings.
- Tried to amend spatial extent of a lake and fixing roads that were misaligned.
- Contacted a local mapper in my area and attempted to resolve a note.
My Experience
The idea of adding spatial information to a map has always excited me. I really enjoyed my time mapping!!
What could be improved
Supplementing mappers with finer resolution satellite imagery.
Thank you
Thanks for visiting Yelahanka!! Hope your navigation was smooth with most of the edits in place.

By Indian standards a small town indeed, but I believe it should be tagged as something larger than a hamlet :) Check this site for some guidance on the appropriate tag.
If you want to work on it a bit more, it’s always strange to see so many houses without streets to get to them.
Anyway thanks for contributing, keep it up!

Good practice is to place abbreviations (like GKVK) into
