Hello OSM India community, I'm part of the Map With AI team at Facebook. We are working with RMSI to map roads in major cities throughout the country. RMSI will be doing the bulk of the mapping work as they are an Indian team with local knowledge of the country but my team may also assist from time to time.
We will be mapping missing roads using our AI assisted mapping tool, RapiD. You can read some more about it at our site http://mapwith.ai/ and give it a try yourself. Our Github explains the mapping process well for those that haven't tried it before. https://github.com/facebookmicrosites/Open-Mapping-At-Facebook/wiki. The road data for India is also available there for bulk download if interested. You can visit our OSM wiki page to view our past projects at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Facebook_AI-Assisted_Road_Tracing and RMSI’s wiki is at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RMSI. Our initial plan is to focus on 313 priority cities by mapping the admin3 area that the city falls within. You can view the cities and polygons here. https://github.com/facebookmicrosites/Open-Mapping-At-Facebook/blob/master/data/IND_locations.geojson There are a couple of known issues with the current selected polygons due to imprecise lat longs for the cities. I will update the geojson once they are all identified and corrected, but this should be representative of the current plan. I'm happy to answer any questions here or you can email us directly at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Thanks for your time! Jeff
