Hello,
Warm wishes to the global mapping community and Indian mappers in specific. A small idea which sparked a few months ago, has now finally grown to the stage of implementation. 'The Great Indian Mapping Project' (TGIMP) is a ten step plan of action which has been framed with an intention to improve the Indian Maps, along side develop and cultivate the Indian Mapping culture. Taking it's inspiration from Global Mapping initiatives, TGIMP runs on the similar DNA structure to strengthen the National mapping community. After a series of long brain storm sessions, here finally is the Step 1 among the rest 9 of TGIMP to come.
To all you avid Indian cartographers,
-Did you ever had a problem while mapping and felt that there was no one and no where to talk about?
-Did you ever thought of something to do, but did not even attempt to, realizing you do not have enough support and resources?
-You see a bad mapper, report it to the GMM team, yet the bad mapper is back again to irritate you, felt helpless and thought about quitting mapping?
-A Google Reviewer does not see your intent and blindly acts as per his/her protocol, ever wondered whom to and how to talk about?
-
-
-And the list keeps on growing.!
So here is finally a one stop solution for all your issues. We the Indian Google Mapmaker Advocates, along side the RER's have come up with this idea of creating a quick response system in the shape of an interactive form which will let you speak your mind to us and in turn make sure that the Indian Mapping Community prospers. Well we all know how obsolete the Indian Discussion Forum has been right since its inception. So this is the best and the easiest way to address your mapping concerns. We all share the same feeling of the need for an accurate and informative Indian maps, which would be helpful to the society.
Start using and start sharing the form with as many people as possible. This is one form which has been opened with a thought of some one working on it 24X7 and for 365 days...
One small request to the Global Mapping Community, The Global RER Community, The Global Advocate Forum. Please share and pass on this form to any lost Indian mapper, if ever you should find one here on!
