OpenStreetMap
Hi PM, Have you met Harry Wood? He is the OpenStreetMap guy around here (if you got any questions with OSM). And there is the WikiProject OpenStreetMap. In a recent conversation, he mentioned that we can use Yahoo Maps to draw the roads, but you cannot name the streets unless you are physically at the place. Not sure if you knew this already. I am going to be drawing street maps of Chennai with the Yahoo overlay. Nice job with the Karl Schmidt Memorial. Regards, Ganeshk  ( talk ) 01:54, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Any chance you can e-mail me those Chennai Corporation maps? I could use them as a guide in naming the streets. I am currently just drawing the roads. The important thing to explain at the BarCamp would be that Wikimapia and Google MapMaker are copyrighted websites while OSM is freely licensed. I would prefer putting my hard work into OSM. Not sure if everyone understands the difference. More at OSM blog. Google MapMaker is better at the UI though. Hopefully OSM could pull some it's features. Regards, Ganeshk  ( talk ) 16:15, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Chennai Metro Map
I just noticed your Chennai Metro Map on GOOGLE maps, nice job. I just did a map of Protected areas of Tamil Nadu to give an overview. Any suggestions?, or better any fine tuning you can do? Marcus (talk) 04:20, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

I have uploaded a map called Satvahana.svg at "WikiProject Indian History Maps". I have used Inkscape to create it from another SVG found on the commons. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Satvahana.svg

There are a few problems which I will fix. I am still pretty new to Inkscape. * Background is transparent * Bigger fonts for cities etc.

 * Raise lkblr, Please export the map in SVG format and upload it to Commons. It should be named, Bengaluru area locator map.svg for consistency purposes. Thanks, Ganeshk  ( talk ) 06:12, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow.. that was too fast :) Thanks to Planemad and Ganeshk. As for svg, we can export from openstreet.org in different formats like osm.xml but i could not figure out svg. Let me try it in some articles first, Cheers! Raise lkblr (talk) 08:21, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Too many roads there, zooming out in osm did not help. That Im now introduced to osm, lemme first play with it a lil, so no timeframe yet for better Bangalore map as of now. I see you contributed a lot to indian jurisdiction maps, Great work! Wish you a Happy New Year! Raise lkblr (talk) 09:10, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It is possible to export in SVG format from OpenStreetMap using OSM's "export tab". However I've had some difficultly getting this to work properly myself. Managed it just for simple maps like this one: File:Holborn-viaduct-map.svg ...and even then the process was very fiddly. Maybe it's not realistic to attempt to make an SVG image of such an intricate detailed map. I need to experiment a little more with this myself. Might work better with OSM's "Osmarender" tool for larger exports. But then wikipedia's SVG renderer doesn't always do everything consistently (same as inkscape for example). All in all it's quite tricky, so I'd say stick with raster images for this kind of detailed map. -- Harry Wood (talk) 14:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Indian maps
Hi, great work with the Indian maps!. I was wondering though if you could produce another set of svg maps for the Indian states but do them in the style of Template:Location map Pakistan like User:Nordnordwest has done. You see there is a drive to standardise the pin maps. Is there any chance you could produce a nice set of svgs in this style to use in the infoboxes? E.g see Varanasi we need standardised maps not ones with pink and brown in together which look unprofessional! Maybe create the state maps and then include a national state locator in the top corner like File:India Uttar Pradesh locator map.svg so it is easier to know where it is?

About the Ahmedabad BRTS map
The map is quite impressive and informative not only about the BRTS system, but also about how the city is laid out. And the usage of colours is appropriate as well. This is not seen on many network maps around the world. The map is well worthy of coming up on the bus stops rather than the current ugly ones, just that they would need the Gujarati station names as well. Congratulations for the fabulous work

As for myself, I am a student of architecture and I make fantasy network maps for fun.

P.S. There is one mistake in the map. The ring road from Narol to Naroda Patiya runs alongside the BRTS line. They are not on separate roads as shown in the map.

Updated India state locator maps
Replied on my talk page. If you would recreate your own maps with the new graphic without colours and lightly shade in railway stations and lines in black I'd fully accept it. If you could update your set up maps taking out the colour and following the graphic guidlines of the new one then I'm sure we could add your railway reuiqrements. Uou are completely free to recreate File:India Maharashtra location map.svg in the same graphic as the new updated version but with your modifications; the distance guage and the railway/hub links. As long as it is still clear and doesn't look cluttered I think this would be OK. If you would kindly update all of your maps in the improved plain, clear graphic I think we could probably continue using them, and it would make things a lot easier.. Perhaps the reason is because you are no longer active on wikipedia....  Dr. Blofeld       <font size="-4"><font color="Black">White cat 12:54, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Is Kashmir not part of India or abandoned?
Hi Arun

It was lovely to see map of India but I felt bad when I saw upper portion of our country. Why have you not added Kashmir part into Indian map? It is shocking that an Indian is showing India like this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.219.201.75 (talk) 04:46, 21 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your feedback. I have not added or removed any part of the country according to my will, since i am no one to decide that. But it is a simple graphic representation of the territories under Indian jurisdiction. That part of Kashmir not in indian control is called Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and is worth a read to have some historical knowledge of the Kashmir conflict. Hope that clarifies your doubt --Plane Mad 06:49, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

A Request
Hi Arun, I was greatly impressed with your maps especially the one of the Ahmedabad BRTS. If do find some free time could you please render the map for Bangalore metro rail ? Thank you and Regards! --Johnxxx9 (talk) 12:03, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Planemad, I saw your nice map of the Indian railway system based on OSM data (and, by chance, I am familiar with the excellent mapping of Chennai you did where my wife comes from). I wonder if you might be able and willing to help in a similar undertaking: for an article in WP I need a map of the present day railway system of Mexico. Recently I entered all railway lines I know (I lived in Mexico quite some time and travelled a lot) into OSM and I believe it is nearly complete. I would be interested in a map with a similar background layer as the one you used, but differentiating the lines with are in use (railway = rail) and those disused (railway = abandoned). Do you think you could help? Regards HJPD (talk) 07:47, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Locator Map of Tripura.
I have found in Wikimedia Commons that you have uploaded similar locator maps of different Indian states with colourful district divisions. It has indeed has helped Wikipedia a lot. But I found that although there are such maps of many North-East Indian states the locator map of Tripura is missing. I request to upload a similar locator map of Tripura with diferent districts in different colours. I hope you will keep my request. -Trinanjon Basu (talk) 14:23, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Location maps
I have been working on the Madhya Pradesh districts for some time. I find that location maps are not available for certain districts – Ashoknagar District (split from Guna District), Alirajpur District (split from Jhabua District), Burhanpur District (split from Khandwa District), Singrauli District (split from Sidhi District), and Anuppur District (split from Shahdol District). It would be great, if you could help in developing location maps for these districts and possibly also modifying the location maps of the districts from which they were split. Cheers. - Chandan Guha (talk) 04:44, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
