FSFTN pledges to continuously improve OpenStreetMap by bringing in more regional level contributors in TamilNadu.

Why OpenStreetMap?

  1. OpenStreetMap & other OSM related apps are potential alternative to Google Maps.
  2. 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
