Changeset: 178729012


Today I contributed to OpenStreetMap by improving map completeness in my local area in Bengaluru, Karnataka.

🔹 What I Worked On

Added a missing café using local knowledge Verified placement to ensure it was mapped at the correct entrance location Added appropriate tags including: amenity=cafe name= ##Bean Stop Café

Checked for duplicate entries before uploading

🔹 Mapping Approach

I focused only on verified, ground-truth information and avoided copying from copyrighted sources. All additions were based on direct familiarity with the area.

🔹 Quality Checks

Ensured the point was not placed on the roadway Confirmed correct spelling and capitalization Reviewed surrounding features for consistency

🔹 Objective

The goal was to improve local POI completeness and contribute accurate, structured data to OpenStreetMap. This is part of my effort to make consistent, quality-focused contributions rather than large, unverified edits.




















Changeset: 176210161


In this changeset (176210161), I focused on improving building-level mapping by adding missing building outlines and refining structural details using Bing Maps aerial imagery.

The objective of this session was to enhance spatial accuracy and improve map completeness in the area. I ensured that:
  • Building footprints were aligned correctly with satellite imagery
  • Proper geometry was maintained
  • No duplicate structures were created
  • Tagging remained consistent with OSM standards
This edit was completed using the iD editor (v2.37.3), and I requested a review to ensure quality validation and community feedback.

Working on building details helped strengthen my understanding of:
  • Accurate polygon tracing
  • Satellite imagery interpretation
  • Clean data structuring
  • Version control within OSM changesets
I will continue improving structured building data and map quality in Karnataka.



Changeset number is 178690672


Today, I worked on improving map data around Yelahanka Taluku, Karnataka. I updated the official name of Sai Vidya Institute of Technology to reflect accurate real-world information and ensured proper tagging consistency.

In addition to correcting the name, I reviewed campus boundary structure, building tagging, and surrounding infrastructure to avoid duplication and maintain data integrity. I verified that the edits align with real-world sources and OSM tagging standards.

My focus during this session was on:
  • Accurate name correction
  • Structured campus boundary validation
  • Road connectivity refinement
  • POI accuracy improvement
  • Avoiding duplicate objects
This session helped reinforce the importance of precise tagging, version tracking, and reviewing live map data versus cached tiles. I will continue contributing to improving structured geospatial data across Karnataka.

















Many people have noticed that publicly available Overpass servers have been suffering from overuse (a typical tragedy of the commons). OSM usage policies generally contain the line OpenStreetMap (OSM) data is free for everyone to use.
