Dear Arunmozhi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap. In addition to applying for a loan of a GPS, consider some of the other resources that you may have locally. I see that you are sending from an ieee address so you are connected with other technically inclined people and companies. Organize meetings for local people interested in OpenStreetMap; you may find others nearby with GPS devices that they would loan for a mapping party. Tell local technology companies about OSM; they may be interested and willing to loan their GPSes. Good luck _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
