			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is very important to have a street level google map for Pakistan (<em>or at least for the major cities in the beginning</em>). We are counting on the satellite view of the cities which is great but obviously not enough.</p>
<p>I am sure this is not a unique idea. Most of us have already thought about it. My suggestion here is to form a group of volunteers (I will gladly be the first one to volunteer) who can do whatever it takes to have an accurate street level map of Lahore.</p>
<p>At present, I am not sure who is allowed to do that. I tried to look it up but found no method/tool/website where general public can make its contribution to the map definition. So the relevant google guys may require a certain level of persuasion. Who to contact and how to reach them? that can be the first task for this volunteer group.</p>
<p>So those who are willing to be a part of this exercise, please reply here. After that, we can pick a fearless leader from amongst us who can take up the planning from there on.</p>
<p>Pakistan needs you!</p>
