My history in OpenStreetMap
Posted by Mahede Hasan on 20 June 2019 in English. Last updated on 24 October 2019.It was 2014 when I was coming back to Dhaka the capital of Bangladesh where I study.I was travelling with my few friends and one of my best friend was using mobile application map to see our GPS location and to know our route distance from the current position.It was just amazing to me.After two years back,I got a chance to take training on Map which was actually OpenStreetMap but Unfortunately missed the chance due to my personal problem and in February 2018, I took training on OSM from Bangladesh Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Operational Team (BHOOT) and Youth Mappers Dhaka College(YMDC).Now I am working a lot in this platform and want to continue my effort as soon as possible.
Mapping Like a game!Yes.This is a game where I want to complete my target and to be winner.In very first time of my journey in this platform, I saw that my own locality was not mapped and got a chance to map that area and now this area is mapped with lots of POI data along with valuable information.
This is a long journey, I want to continue my journey on this platform.I have a several plan for implementing my own area using OpenStreetMap. I will give thanks to BHOOT and YMDC for giving me this awesome opportunity to be skilled on OpenstretMap platform.
Nowadays the world is being interested in GEO based information where OpenstreetMap can a major platform for it’s copyright system cause we know this platform is totally open for all.So why anyone can add or export data for his own interest. I want to do my journey long with this platform ant will try to be one the best contributor.
Happy Mapping!!!
