Mapmaking For the people, by the people
Times of India | Javed Anwer | November 10, 2012
Aeroshil Nameirakpam, a 29-year-old IT consultant, spends a lot of time wandering around his home town of Imphal. That is when he is not touring the US. But his walking isn't aimless. His walks have a clear purpose. He wants to know more about his city, discover new routes that only locals know about, and ferret out special food joints that only the residents of a city would know about.
When he comes home after his walks, Nameirakpam logs on to the web and feeds the information he has gathered into Map Maker, a Google tool that allows him to share his city with people who never been to Imphal.
