Our team is launching a mapping initiative to enhance the quality of road data in India and Indonesia. Our goals include:
Correcting and improving road names for accuracy.
Fixing geometry issues.
Creating new roads based on osm imagery
Types of Activity
We focus on the following features:
Adding missing roads
Changing road connectivity/geometry
Adding and improving street names
Improving other objects affecting road geometry
Workflow
Maproulette: We have some database of features that potentially have problems (dragged node, spam name & etc.), we plan to upload these features to Maproulette and fix them there.
Visual Assessment: We will visually inspect the road data coverage in Bengaluru and Jakarta, adding any missing roads, based on OSM imagery.
Geographical scope
India and Indonesia
TBD (Possible contribution to 2025 Thailand)
How to find our edits
All edits made by our team in this project have the hashtag #mapbox_roads
Editing Team
All members of the team went through the onboarding process before starting editing on OpenStreetMap and are familiar with the principles of editing.
New editors are guided to OSM training resources like the OSM Wiki and iD editor's Help panel.
All team members can be found here: link
Tools
Team will use OSM ID and Rapid
Sources
OSM imagery
street-level sources such as Mapilary or Bing Streetside
We welcome feedback from local mappers as local knowledge always prevails. If you have any questions about a specific edit done by the Mapbox team or want to suggest some improvements in the editing process you can contact osm-edit-escalations@mapbox.com or post a comment in a changeset.
