Improving the map quality in South Korea (officially the Republic of Korea) 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 MR. Note that sometimes additional instructions are provided within the challenges. We also strongly encourage you to follow good practices, editing standards, and the South Korea mapping guide.
Examine and fix the set of potentially erroneous buildings that we’ve identified. Visit the locations on the map and assess whether the building shapes seem inaccurate.

### Connect Isolated Highways
These are tasks comprising of situations when a way with tag highway=* is not connected to the rest of the road network. Analyze and, if needed, connect the way to another way with tag highway=*.

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.

- Highways
- Adding or correcting highways
- Adding or correcting link roads
- Adding or adjusting bridges, tunnels, layers, or relations
