well last time I discussed with jtd, he said with about 1.2L he can build two prototypes of an inch accurate device which could be manufactured for around 40K a piece (government is using devices

cost 7L a piece)
With this new low cost device, the Govt. should integrate GPS plotting with the PWD and everytime they widen roads or make any changes or even re-tar the roads, they update the GPS records.
which is what we are doing with openstreetmap. Please join the movement.
I find it strange that the general public has to do this by walking on the streets at remote locations. Not that the people should not do it. It should be a proper Govt. initiative with well paid personnel and proper transportation arrangements.
