Which place? I've seen some weird changes lately. Someone wrongly modified the coordinates of a few places.

lulu hypermarket

Lol. When I first read your post I got the impression you where sent to nowhere, near lulu. :)

24.634779,46.716666 what about this place?

Freshlikesushi

Freshlikesushi

Updated the original post with my plans

Freshlikesushi

OK, food map updated. still a few things to transfer, but most are done.


When my nexus 7 tablet comes in, i will be doing much more adding, too hard on the phone with my driving. wife is here so we can map out more

Freshlikesushi

added about a dozen new places to eat and a few more malls.

we are up to 190 places!

Kymadoce

Done 19 updations across Batha & Malaz..phew !!

Freshlikesushi

Make sure you put food place son teh food map, and other stuff on the normal on.  Im moving a few of them over for you :)

Kymadoce

oh! Thanks.... I know the few are actually 60% of my updates... ;> Result of my hunt to discover good vegetarian Indian Food...

Freshlikesushi

NP man. dont mind cleaning up a bit as long as people add things hah.

Freshlikesushi

due to some asshat moving almost half of the places around, the map is no longer open to the public to edit since i ended up literally in the middle of nowhere today.

If you would like to help me put it back to where it was, please email me at freshlikesushi1@gmail.com and i will add you as a collaborator to help do this and continue to add more places.

Farooq is the person who funked* it all up. i wish i could figure out how to find his information.

You've been doing a great job here @FLS :top:.

I navigated after so many days and found good number of probs. I'll do a quick review and will provide you exact co-ords of a few dislocated places.

Freshlikesushi

or just give me your email and ill put you as an editor and just move as needed.

i add things and fix things as i can.  but i dont know everything, so i cant fix everything

chaitu4u

What an idea!

Can any one please show Gulf Air Filter Factory Company, 2nd Industrial City, Riyadh?

I went mad while searching in Modon maps but cant found out.

Hi All,

this is an excellent idea especially for me and my wife as we are due to come to riyadh very shortly as i have just accepted a job so it tells me where everything is.

However i do have one recommendation can some people add bakery shops to the map also please.

thanks

TheLegendLeads

Kind of democracy map of Riyadh; of,by,for the people :lol: Hats off to Grant aka @FLS. We know the map has helped many.

The leading bakers in the town ''Wooden Bakery" has 2 outlets and both are in there. I just double checked.

Jocktanian Wolf

Dear Freshlikesushi,

Thanks so much for taking the trouble to put together this map! Extremely helpful for people who are new to Riyadh, especially in a country where info travels so slowly!

Sorry to hear that people are messing up the map. Honestly, some people can be so mean and you want to ask them: "Why?!"

Anyway, thank you.

TheLegendLeads

- A few new placemarks added
- Description added to some existing marks

Freshlikesushi

thanks to everyone who has/is helping with this.  it is greatly apprecaited!

Well you can always meetup with all the other members,"intellectually challenging or not  :unsure but there are quite a few here who would make  interesting conversations ,over multiple topics.
