[Hamara-devel] The open-source maps that made rescue possible - Wired

[shirish]

Hi all,
Read 
http://www.wired.com/2015/05/the-open-source-maps-that-made-rescues-in-nepal-possible/ 
. There was a news item few days back where Pune Corporation is going to 
pay Google Rs. 10 lakh or 1 million rupees for a map. If the same amount 
was given to a bunch of volunteers, it would have resulted in superior 
map coverage without mistakes that google does.
