Here is one way of hoping to create digital map for Ahmednagar.

Started adding locations for Ahmednagar map at
http://www.google.com/mapmaker

Do volunteer to add more locations. Use following guidelines
0. Don't add location if you are absolutely not sure about the name/
dimensions of it.
1. Don't misspell the location names (e.g. it is Kinetic not Kinetik)
2. Use correct spelling of city Ahmednagar, not AhmAdnagar. It is E
not A.
3. Use english words if possible e.g. rather than saying galli say
lane
4. Maximise/Zoom IN the location and then mark it.

Begin with galli/lanes, road names, chowk names first.
Do update other maps for Ahmednagar if possible (e.g. wikimapia)

Thanks.

5. Keep marathi/hindi/urdu names in description so that the map can be
translated in other languages.

Read 'buidling ecological city/district' topic at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ahmednagar

Wikipedia talk also has the information about how 'Ahmednagar Blog'
started.

Also give streets some proper names (not God/Leader/Personal/Family
names). Ask Nagar Corporation to do that.
