Not at all. I'm asking a contributor who feels that his local community is not very strong if there's anything specific he thinks could improve things. Since this thread mentions the "westerner bias" a lot, I prefer to ask to get educated about a particular local community. > I can't drive down the M5 without loosing a data connection, Me too, losing network on the go, I hate it. But let's be honest : this pales in comparison to the coverage issues in many countries (presumably like India, but my experience in the matter is getting old). > so OSMAND is the only way to work and that works on cheap android > devices.

I've got a pretty good todo-list of what would improve my European OSM contributor's life, but I was curious about India. It has a huge population, good level of IT skills, offline functionality needs, good-but-not-great Google maps... It ought to be a prime location for OSM to shine, but it isn't (yet). I wonder why. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
