Task description:

This task is looking to improve the map data in the Caribbean region (Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Puerto Rico, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Maarten, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, US Virgin Islands). 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:

Additionally, we may edit some other map features such as water bodies, natural features, landuse features, and buildings.

We will be processing this according to OSM, and adhering to the Organized editing guidelines.

Mapping Guidelines:

We will be adding/updating (when possible) road geometry, names, directionality, road classification, restrictions, destinations, 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 regional wide effort.

Changeset Comments:

The team will be adding changeset comments that follow OSM changeset guidelines.

Error Detection:

We will use the validator in the JOSM tool to look for errors, following the wiki as well as the LearnOSM guidelines. We will also process a number of Atlas Checks in the region.

Additional Info:

For any questions, comments, concerns, feel free to email the team at openmaps(at)Microsoft.com.
