Re: [Talk-in] Geocoding Vikarabad District, Telangana

[Sree harsha Thanneru]

Hi Arun,

Thanks for the response, yes the OSM data for Vikarabad seems to very less,
and another issue is also about different spellings of villages from
different govt sources. I am ready to put some efforts in populating this
for the district. I am meetimg @Surya from factly 
tomorrow and they have been working closely with State Govt.on Opendata
implementation, so will see what would come out of it.

@Chetan,
Nice to hear from you, and we are in surely need of some hands with
experience in mapping to learn and visualise the data in a better way. Let
me know if you want to have a quick chat/talk and we can take it from there.

p.s : I have added in the mail loop, Vaishnavi who I met today, and she was
also enquiring about shape files of Vikarabad, and specifically Daulatabad
Mandal. She is a PHD student at Wisconsin University, and is currently
focussing on Credit & livelihood issues of farmers in Daulatabad Mandal
currently working out of Vikarabad too :)
I have also added Surya from factly in the mail too.

There is a datameet forum topic
also around
this by Srihari.
Hope we can collectively work together on this.

Cheers,
Harsha

Hi Sree Harsha,

"Farmer Distress Helpline" looks like amazing work you are carrying on. I'm
from the rural background, let me know if you need help in mapping and
other open data activities. Happy to help!

Best,
Chetan

Re: [Talk-in] Geocoding Vikarabad District, Telangana

[Arun Ganesh]

If you want a OSM based geocoder, give
https://geocoder.opencagedata.com/demo a try. It looks like Vikarabad does
not have many villages mapped, so it probably won't give good results till
you improve OSM.

If using Google is giving bad results, its unlikely one can do much to
improve the results.
