Malaysia | Data Improvements #172

Project description

Goal

Improving the map quality in Malaysia by sharing tasks that can help fix data errors and/or add certain kinds of features.

How to participate

Anyone is welcome to contribute to this project by participating in our MapRoulette challenges. Here is the extended documentation for using MapRoulette. Note that sometimes additional instructions are provided within the challenges. We also strongly encourage you to follow the OSM editing good practices and road tagging recommendations in Malaysia.

When appropriate, TomTom will also work on the tasks. If they are more suited to be solved without organized help, we will indicate as such in the overview and leave them for interested mappers with local knowledge to complete the tasks.

Here is the current set of challenges.

Active Challenges

Fix Incorrect Highway Junctions

Identify and fix if needed, incorrect or imprecisely located junctions.

Fix Inconsistent Bridge and Tunnel Tagging

Identify and fix cases where the bridge or tunnel has an incorrect tag.

Fix Building and Highway Intersections

Identify and fix, if needed, cases where a way intersects with a building.

Fix Spiky Buildings

Identifying and fixing buildings with potential geometry and shape issues to enhance data quality and accuracy.

Edits based on Map Feedback

We will 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 that could 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 railways tracks - Adding or adjusting railway infrastructure tags such as bridges, tunnels, level crossings - Ferry Lines - Adding ferry Lines - Realigning ferry lines - Adding ferry terminals

Inactive Challenges

Click to expand. ### Road network challenges - [Malaysia - Add Highways](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/39429) Identify and add if needed, one or more missing ways. - [Malaysia - Connect Isolated Highways](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/39172) Identify and connect if needed cases where the end of the way with tag highway=* is not connected to the rest of the road network.

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 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.

The 'Sources for editing' section updated with the below information-

  1. Removed Maxar Premium Imagery from the list as it's not available anymore in OSM
  2. Added a description of proprietary sources to support editing
