To improve the map quality in the Solomon Islands, we propose to make data improvements by sharing challenges, and when appropriate, fixing data errors, and adding or editing certain kinds of geometry.
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.

- [Not connected highway](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/21014)
Ways with tag highway=* must be connected to the rest of the road network to ensure its continuity, e.g. for route planning. When such a way is not connected to another way with tag highway=*, an error is logged.
- [Tag area=yes on object without feature type](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/21015)
The area=yes tag is required for some closed ways when used to define a polygon. For closed ways with other tags, there is an assumption that the way defines an area. In some circumstances, a closed way may define both a closed polyline and an area. When tag area=yes is used, it is expected that one of the necessary accompanying tags is also found.
- [Spiky buildings](https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/21016)
Buildings with extremely sharp angles will be identified and corrected if needed.
Geographical scope
Data improvements will be made across the whole country.
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.
