Mapbox recently rolled out new satellite imagery for many places around the globe. I’m happy to share that some of the Indian cities also got new imagery with this update and the community can use this for mapping in OpenStreetMap. I always prefer best imagery to add highways and buildings the most.

Bengaluru, Karnataka

Ludhiana, Punjab

Kochi, Kerala

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Kolkata, West Bengal

Vellore, Tamil Nadu

You can also check the unmapped places on OpenStreetMap using this tool http://lxbarth.com/compare/?osm&mapbox.satellite#17/30.91342/75.84278. The tool compares the satellite imagery alongside OpenStreetMap. Here is the one example in Gottigere neighbourhood in Bengaluru, where buildings can be mapped.

Ludhiana, Punjab

Let me know if you have any questions and feedback. Here is the link http://learnosm.org/en/ to the web tutorial to get started with editing in OpenStreetMap. Also there is lot more tutorials are available at here.

Happy mapping!
