  Assuming that there is less than 100% mapping of all common 
attributes in your area:


 Start in your neighborhood: are all speed limits entered?  Turn 
restrictions? One way streets? -> those would be good to collect with 
Mapillary or as a passenger in a vehicle.


  Have addresses been imported?  If not, and your county has a 
restricted data license, it may be a long time if ever before addresses 
can be imported.   In that case, practice entering the address of every 
building where you routinely travel; restaurants, stores, work, etc.


  Otherwise, just start moving out into nearby towns or places you have 
lived or visited previously.

Re: [Talk-us] .... finding areas that are underserved

A couple ideas:

Start with small rural towns near you. Check to make sure the streets 
are aligned properly to Bing. Check road names against recent tiger, 
county GIS, and of course the best is on the verifying with your own 
eyes. Then clean up tracks (dirt roads, 4wd trails, non-existent trials, 
etc) outside rural towns that may be tagged as residential.

[Talk-us] Fall River Massachusetts

2016-11-12 Thread Richard Welty
any mappers near Fall River? we visited Battleship Cove today
and discovered that the ramps surrounding the east end of the
I-195 bridge have been extensively reconstructed and the road
topology is noticeably different from what's in OSM. it could use
some kind attention from someone with more time than i had
available.
