6 years ago In my opinion we need more GPS track to improve road network. Some regions (especially Qashqadaryo & Surxondaryo regions ) didn't cover by GPS track Can you team help us? Also we have a list of national & regional network road (road number & distances between settlements) We need somebody who can perform validation.

6 years ago @garifulinma thanks for the comment! The list sounds helpful, can you post the link? As for GPS, I would suggest looking at Strava, which is available on the JOSM Imagery menu, as well as the OSM GPS traces, which are in iD, if you haven't checked those already. Here's more on Strava: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Strava
Task Description
This task outlines work to improve map data in Uzbekistan. We plan to work on improving the road network, such as adding missing roads, fixing network issues such as missing connections or crossing roads, and other related issues. We also plan to update and correct coastline and water features as we find them, and correct and improve land use and land cover polygons where needed, such as airports, national parks, forests, colleges and universities, and so on -- remove duplicates, correct the boundaries, fix incorrect tags and other similar things.
Improvements that will be addressed include the following:
Mapping Guidelines
The team will follow OSM and local policy, along with any other guidelines as appropriate.
The team will use the imagery and data sources specified below as needed for mapping in the country.
For water and coastlines, the team will follow OSM coastline guidelines, waterways policy such as water and natural=water and local policy along with any other policy as appropriate.
Some coastlines are connected to administrative boundaries, in which case we will adjust both if appropriate.
Where we see them, we will remove the
source=PGStag, which was from an earlier coastline import that needs to be cleaned up. We received a message on the India coastlines project requesting this, and it is commonly done in other coastline improvement edits.When in doubt, the team will use the existing tags and data which are used locally. The history in JOSM (ctrl-H) identifies what previous mappers added and their notes and/or explanations regarding changes made. This history can also show if a previous mapper has visited that area or has expert knowledge or sources.
We have also messaged OSM Uzbekistan Telegram to get feedback and suggestions about the project.
Our team uses the hashtag #adt (for Apple Data Team) for our edits.
Area of Focus
Throughout Uzbekistan. Local user Bakhadir says Karakalpakstan has many missing roads.
Tools
The team will use JOSM for completing the task. JOSM has validation warnings for road networks and other possible issues that are important to prevent improper changes.
Sources
The team will apply image offsets as needed.
Changeset Comments
The team will provide changeset comments that are in compliance with OSM changeset guidelines.
Error Detection
The team will check for errors visually and using JOSM validation warnings prior to committing the changeset.
In addition, the team will review its work in accordance with validation guidelines such as the OSM Wiki and LearnOSM validation guidelines
