The roads were of 25 types from Bridleway to Trunk and the data contained more than 3000 individual tree locations too and some of them had funny names too, like planted by Mr.

Yes, I downloaded Bangalore data from () which allows bulk downloads and the zip file was around 800 MB.Ībout a decade back, there was very little open domain data of Bangalore and that’s why making a map was tough and today there is so much of data that making a map is again so tough.

However just about a decade plus later, the open domain, especially the OSM has almost one GB data for Bangalore itself.

So from these three open domain sources many of our maps especially those in Myanmar, China, Nepal, Bhutan and even in POK were made.īack then () (OSM) was still in its infancy and even Google maps had very little data of India.

It was then that I researched making maps with (), () and (). After a bit of brainstorming, we decided to make maps of unmapped areas especially across the border in the Northern and North East regions of India. Just for the uninitiated, digitization is the term used for converting hard copy maps into digital, computer ready vector maps.Īnyway, we were short of hard copy maps to digitize and an urgent need to find ways and means to somehow keep the manpower gainfully employed. Yes, way back in 2004 when I was posted with a mapping unit digitizing the Survey of India hard copy maps and one day find that we had very few maps left for digitization. And in a way I really owe my after Army career to this beautiful city, where in true sense I was introduced to the art and science of open data cartography almost a decade back. Probably that is not just the case with Bengaluru but almost all the cities of India, we hardly have any good maps (…132617.133253.134494…0.0.0.102.465.4j1……0….1.gws-wiz-img…….PKhXiosVM&ved=0ahUKEwjOtaG8ya3lAhWe4HMBHRxJBbIQ4dUDCAc&uact=5).Īfter hanging my boots, I have been freelancing as a GIS professional, a cartographer, crunching open domain data, teaching thematic mapping and making diverse maps of the World but somehow could not get down to making one of Namma Bengaluru. Bengaluru, the most vibrant city of India, home to the 20th century industry, the Information technology and iconic Infosys and Wipro but sadly the best cartographic map of this city is of the 1900s. I tried searching with different terms and landed on various maps like () or this one, (). The Google search for Bangalore map gets links to drab amateurish maps and the best map that you find is probably () and interestingly this map is of the 1900s. It is such a beautiful city but I can hardly find any comprehensive map on the net which somehow highlights all that this city has to offer to a tourist. ()īangalore or Bengaluru, the city which got itself a pretty name from boiled beans, yes, the legend says so and the word Bengaluru literally translates into “the city of boiled beans”.
