FSFTN pledges to continuously improve [[https://openstreetmap.org|OpenStreetMap]] by bringing in more regional level contributors in TamilNadu.

==== Why OpenStreetMap? ====
  - OpenStreetMap & other OSM related apps are potential alternative to Google Maps.
  - The data from OpenStreetMap can be used for local civic action.

==== What do we map? ====

As an organization, we want to focus on the following things in the map.
  * Banks & ATMs (as POIs using OsmAnd)
  * Missing Road names (using StreetComplete)
  * Adding Tamil names
  * Hospitals, Health centers & Pharmacies.
  * Public Toilets
  * Drinking Water
  * Fuel Stations
  * Educational Institutions (Schools & Colleges)
  * Public Transport (Bus stops & Bus routes)
  * Public Distribution Scheme centers (Eg: Ration Shops)
  * Government Offices
  * Water bodies (lakes and ponds).
  * Post offices and post boxes
