Mapping Bramhapuri

Posted by aintgd on 2 January 2016 in English.

I’ve been mapping this town in eastern Vidarbha for the last week. It was almost blank except the main highways and lakes. I am trying to the map the internal ways, paths, residential highways etc. The town is too crowded in parts that one can’t distinctly identify roads from imagery alone. I also uploaded few gpx traces. I am adding local info as it comes.

I’m having a full-time job here, stayed here for the whole year 2015, but recently got transferred and will join my new posting in a week or two. I am still attending my job all the day, visit hometown over the weekend, so it’s difficult to get traces of the obscure roads, more so as I have no vehicle here.

There have been uncertainties regarding when will I need to leave the town. It may be on this coming Monday, just two days later, or maybe a couple of weeks. I will see how much I can map.

(These are the areas where we have very few users on OSM, almost none. That makes it important for me to get as much info as possible till I am here. What do you say?)

Location: Gujari Ward, Brahmapuri, Brahmapuri Taluka, Chandrapur District, Maharashtra, 441206, India

Nice work. I took a look at your city and added a few roads and buildings. I would love to see some of the buildings from the ground.
