Hi everyone!

This is Horea and I am part of the mapping team at Telenav.

To make OpenStreetMap more navigable and accurate in guidance, our 
mapping team is planning to start editing in Australia/New Zealand.


Starting this January until June we will focus on road geometry, road 
name, oneways, signpost, speed limit, lanes and turn lanes in 
Auckland, Canberra, Perth and Melbourne.


This is where you come in! Beside the general OSM mapping 
guidelines (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Road_Tagging), 
do you have any local mapping guidelines for us? Also, we appreciate 
any hints regarding available local or government data (besides 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogue) that we 
might be able to us.


We'd love any input and advice!

If you have any questions or comments, please let me/us know. Also, 
more details about our work and plans can be found on Github 
Repository 
 and 
Telenav Wiki Page 
. We will 
announce specific editing projects on our Github at least two weeks in 
advance.


Our team members are also on the Maptime Oceania Slack, so we can be 
reached there too.




For the ACT/Canberra the NSW LPI Base Map is usefull for road names and 
the NSW LPI Imagery may have better detail than other imagery.



Go easy - we drive on the correct side of the road - the left, clockwise 
around roundabouts too.



PS on the wiki page you have some details about 4WD roads.

Note that some long lengths of 4WD roads In South Australia are not 
council roads - so they have no real government data.


And some of these roads are now access=permit, say ~600 miles of them.

Government data for 4WD? That might include the shorter length roads .. 
most of 'us' are not too interested in those as they lead nowhere.


Possibly the government includes 'unpaved' as 4WD where most of us are 
comfortable in a 2WDvehicle ..with a little ground clearance on these roads.
