Also, the word 'Colony' (repeated multiple times throughout the site and video), has quite negative connotations these days (not sure where you're based... India? If so, usage there might be different)

Colony / Society is basically area beyond Landmark covering people in the whole society. It could also be people living in Same 50+ floor building as the colony name.

The whole area is peer-peer based generator, whatever you provide your neighbor should have similar location data.

But as you scroll, you will anyhow meet at one point either in Landmark, Area, Colony or City or State or Further.
