In reply to bgo_eiuYes there are 22, Dogri being one of them (I being a native speaker). The Govt has recognized Devanagri as its official script. But Dogri has its own script too (Dogra Akkhar) which even has a Unicode now and Indian Railways has began its usage by writing on boards across all railway stations in Jammu division of J&K. So should it be added as a tag? | 18:45:41 | |
Yes, definitely on those railway stations especially | 18:48:35 | |
In reply to Harshil SharmaUse english for name tag always in India, but we an add other language with name:iso | 18:51:06 | |
Looks like there is only 3 uses of name:doi so far, would be good to add more. Could use name:doi-Deva and name:doi-Dogr if you wanted to tag the scripts separately using the ISO codes for them (and document it on the wiki whatever tags you use) | 18:54:37 | |
Need to edit wiki to include dogri akkhat | 18:57:10 | |
* Need to edit wiki to include Dogri akkhar | 18:57:19 | |
In reply to bgo_eiuOkayy Thanks :) | 19:22:51 | |
In reply to bgo_eiuI'll help with this task | 19:23:07 | |
Question I have - does anyone here know anything about where and how Asian Highway route shields are posted in India? | 19:25:20 | |

In reply to bgo_eiuthis seems to be the main place for styling, rendering of the openstreetmap tiles. https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto . I can't find actual shield imagery at first glance, and can't tell if there's different shields for different regions being used. | 00:35:43 | |
In reply to Nikhil VJAbout the Middle East example, I think it is possible to use OSM, given that name:en tags are present and the app that you use allows you to select a specific display language (name:lang tag) instead of just the name tag. I personally support using local language in name tag and additionally having name:en tag (which is standard in OSM worldwide, I guess).In India I’ve observed that many places don’t have name:en tag which I think can be improved (even if the name tag itself has the English name). | 01:05:51 | |

In reply to Nikhil VJYes road mapping is really important. But without place names routing is quite difficult/impossible. See the last table on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_internationalization_(India). Quite poor results. Only in (GJ), KA, KL,RJ there are many local names. We need to motivate mappers to map roads and village names. | 04:54:34 | |
Maybe this is useful:https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation_Diff | 05:16:47 | |
Sorry: wrong group!! | 05:17:33 | |
In reply to Heinz Viethnope. place/road names only come up when you want turn by turn directions, in that too there's ways of getting around. that's only 1 of many applications of road routing. all others get done without needing it. | 05:35:09 | |
* nope. place/road names only come up when you want turn by turn directions, in that too there's ways of getting around. that's only 1 of many applications of road routing. all others get done without needing it. if one just draws the road on OSM and gives it any generic highway tag, job is done | 05:35:42 | |
Thanks to all Facebook mappers VLD xyz. They mapped many roads. | 05:50:38 | |
Anyone knows if the fb folks are using rapid or josm? | 05:56:02 | |
We can probably add pmgsy data as another source for that editor along with the satellite predictions | 05:56:56 | |
They seem to be very active in India.. | 06:00:27 | |

In reply to Sreeram KMost use ID; very activce also JOSM | 06:08:13 | |
In reply to Heinz ViethRapid does seem to have an option to add additional datasets listed here - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Esri/ArcGIS_Datasets. | 06:39:18 | |

My way to map village names(always at once only a subdistrict): 1) mapping of all residential areas 2) names from Bharatmaps 3) pgmsy as an additional layer: names that are still missing (but individual control) 4) SOI as additional layer for still missing names | 06:48:57 | |
MRSAC can solve still existing problems | 06:49:31 | |
