Project description
Goal
Improving the map quality in Qatar by sharing tasks that can help fix data errors and/or add certain kinds of features.
In coordination with OSM Arabia and OSM Africa, supporting the community with expert editors for Qatar 2022 World Cup projects #13651 and #13652
How to participate
Anyone is welcome to contribute to this project by participating in our MapRoulette challenges and OpenStreetMap Note tasks. Here is the extended documentation for using MapRoulette. Note that sometimes additional instructions are provided in the descriptions. We also strongly encourage you to follow the OSM editing good practices.
When appropriate, TomTom will also work on the created tasks. If they are more suited to be solved without organized help, we will indicate as such in the overview and leave them for local users interested in completing the tasks.

- [Missing Highways Doha](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/29790) - [Missing Highways Al-Chaur](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/29791) - [Missing Highways Al-Daayen ](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/29792) - [Missing Highways Al-Rayyan ](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/29793) - [Missing Highways Al-Wakra](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/29794) Data analysis done by TomTom suggests that there should be a highway here, but it is missing. - [Missing Buildings](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/29789) Missing buildings were detected after a spatial comparison with TomTom's map database. The tasks in this challenge focus on physical structures such as residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.Edits based on map feedback
Click to expand.
We make improvements to OSM based on user feedback submitted for the TomTom map after comparing and ensuring that it is also valid for OSM. Here is a list of the types of edits to be made, provided they do not conflict with others’ edits and a local source is available: - Highways - Adding highways - Realigning highways - Adding or adjusting bridges, tunnels, layers, or relations - Updating lanes - Updating traffic signs - Addresses - Adding or correcting addresses - Updating the position of address nodes, usually when an object has multiple addresses - Adding or correcting names of ways - POIs (Points of Interest) - Adding POIs - Correcting POI locations - Adding or correcting POI information - Resolving POI-land use discrepancies - Handling POI closures - Land use - Adding land use - Modifying existing land use extent - Buildings - Adding buildings - Updating building type - Adjusting building shape - Water - Adding or realigning rivers, streams, and lakes. These are incidental edits spread over time starting August 1st, 2023. We follow local guidelines and, if needed, consult with the community before making an update.Geographical scope
Data improvements will be made across the whole country.
Announcements
Way of Working
TomTom will work closely with OSM Arabia and OSM Africa to create the MapRoulette challenges, send OpenStreetMap notes, and contribute editors to HOTOSM projects. For reference here is a history of our editing in OSM Organised Editing page, including a list of our editors.
How to find TomTom's edits
All edits made by our team have the hashtag #tt or #tomtom.
Sources for editing
For some OSM map edits TomTom editors will use proprietary sources for support. These will typically be in situations where there is not sufficient evidence using the available sources in OSM editors themselves. The proprietary sources will be ground-level imagery and GPS traces, both collected by TomTom's mobile mapping vans. On occasion, we will also use sources collected from a field survey by one of TomTom's sourcing specialists who have visited the location and collected data to support the required map updates.
