Create an Android app to map abandoned open bore wells

[JeevanandRajendran]

This is in the background of the unfortunate demise of Sujith Wilson, few NGO's have initiated a movement to identify open abandoned bore wells, my proposal is to create a simple easy to use Android app combined with OpenStreetMaps to mark those borewells. The following features can be there

MVP

1. Signup/Login : Signup should be very simple should automaticaly signup the user to the openstreetmaps account using the google sign-in.

2. Display the map panned with users current location (GPS/Mobile Triangulation)

3. Allow the user to set the marker over the current location and choose the category Borewell (MVP this option should be from config file) hit Submit. This should be mapped to the OpenStreetMap tag

4. Ability to save the geo location in offline and sync it once the network is back without user intervention

Future:

1. Add more categorys through API like potholes, Man holes etc
2. Allow user to take a picture of the area that should have the Geo coordinates embedded in EXIF. This information can be validated with the actual geo location the user is mapping before uploading.
3. Ability to untag/correct the already updated data
4. Location history of the user
