This task is looking to improve the map data in NZ. We will also use all available aerial and street level imagery assets available in OSM. We intend to edit the roads, looking to focus the following:
We will be adding/updating (when possible) road: geometry, names, road directionality, road classification, and surface type (we will only be adding paved or unpaved). The team will follow OSM guidelines for adding and tagging each.
Area of Focus:
This will be a country wide effort across New Zealand.
