#Mobile phones can have software application to record the latitude and longitude information of a place. For eg OSM Tracker on a Android phone can record the 'lat long' information about a place, and even record a track, such as a road. Try recording using this on a cell phone. You can also upload this information on a digital map on the Internet such as the openstreetmap (http://openstreetmap.org). See for instance schools recorded on openstreetmap in Yadgir taluka (search Yadgir on openstreetmap.org). You can also see http://kalike.org/map/ and select schools in top right box. You can map important places in your place - shops, hospitals, government offices etc using OSM tracker and upload on openstreetmaps.org
