Open GRABOSM opened 3 years ago
Good day. I'd like to raise a few concerns regarding edits related to this project.
If you encounter situtations where streets in OSM have a different name than in KartaView imagery and there's indication that the existing name was sourced from local knowledge, please move it to old_name instead of deleting it. Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/190380328/history
There are signs that might look like street names, but are not. I specifically noticed several instances of Puroks being mistaken for street names. Puroks are administrative entities which should be tagged on nodes as place=neighbourhood. Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/538588038/history
I hope you can forward these hints to your mappers that are working on street names in the Philippines.
Keep up the great work!
Hi @Timmy-Tesseract, thanks for reviewing our data team edits and for the feedback.
We no longer modify road names, where the road name already exists.
We will update our policy to include the note regarding Puroks administrative entities. Also, If you notice any other issues please let us know.
Kind regards!
