Project description
Goal
To improve the map quality in Liechtenstein, we make data improvements based on map feedback.
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 or correcting highways - Adding or correcting link roads - Adding or adjusting bridges, tunnels, layers, or relations - Adding or updating lanes and related properties - Adding or updating traffic signs - Adding or updating access barriers - Adding or updating turn restrictions - 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. - Railways - Adding railway tracks - Realigning railway tracks - Adding or adjusting railway infrastructure tags such as bridges, tunnels, level crossings - Ferry lines - Adding ferry lines - Realigning ferry lines - Adding ferry terminals These are incidental edits spread over time starting April 27, 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
TomTom organised editing
We will follow the Organised Editing Guidelines for this project. TomTom will not make any edits until two weeks after the project announcement. Here is our Organised Editing page, including a list of our editors.
How to find TomTom's edits
All edits made by our team receive the hashtag #tomtom. Edits based on user feedback additionally have the hashtag #tt_mapfeedback.
tt is a hashtag that has been used for TomTom’s edits in the past.
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.
