Re: [OSM-Talk-ZA] Help improve the map with MapRoulette challenges in South Africa

[Andrew Wiseman via Talk-ZA]

Hello everyone, 
We just updated the MapRoulette challenges in South Africa with new OSM data, 
and also created a couple of new ones for water and coastline issues, where 
roads or buildings cross the coastlines and waterbodies. The new challenges are 
posted here: https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/39168 

In addition, thanks for finishing the previous batch of sharp angle, crossing 
roads and overlapping roads!
Thanks!
Andrew

Re: [OSM-Talk-ZA] Help improve the map with MapRoulette challenges in South Africa

Hi everyone,

This is Andrew again from Apple. I wanted to let everyone know that we just 
updated the MapRoulette challenges related to road network issues in South 
Africa with new OSM data. 

You can find all of the challenges in this MapRoulette project: 
https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/39168 and they include things like 
overly sharp road angles, roads that cross but aren’t connected, roads that 
aren’t connected to anything, overlapping roads, turn restrictions, roads that 
are close but not connected to others, and other similar issues. I plan to work 
on some of them myself too.

If you haven’t used it before, MapRoulette lets you go through potential issues 
in OSM data one by one and either correct them or indicate they are not a 
problem. The challenges were created with our Atlas data analysis tool: 
https://github.com/osmlab/atlas.

If you aren’t sure what challenge to try, sharp angles or crossing roads are 
probably the easiest but they should all be fairly straightforward.

And if you're interested in other countries, the full list is here: 
https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/wiki/MapRoulette-Challenges

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback. Thank you! 

Andrew

[OSM-Talk-ZA] Help improve the map with MapRoulette challenges in South Africa

[Andrew Wiseman via Talk-ZA]

Hello OSM South Africa,

This is Andrew again with Apple’s Maps team. We recently used our Atlas data 
analysis tool (https://github.com/osmlab/atlas 
) to look at a few types of potential issues 
related to roads and routing, such as roads that have overly sharp angles, 
roads that cross but don't connect, routing problems, turn restrictions, places 
where navigation is impossible due to missing connections or potentially 
incorrect one-way roads, and other similar issues.

I've posted the results of those checks on MapRoulette, a tool that lets you go 
through potential issues one by one and either correct them or indicate they 
are not a problem. I wanted to let you know they are available in case others 
wanted to try fixing some of them — I also plan to go through some of them 
myself.

In MapRoulette you can either pick a random task to fix or click on a specific 
one. If you want to do tasks around a certain location, such as somewhere you 
are familiar with, you can click on one from the map view, and then click Next 
task: Nearby when you finish it.

Crossing roads: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8863
Routing problems: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8855
Floating and disconnected roads: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8852
Road connectivity check: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8861
Invalid lanes: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8860
Invalid turn restriction: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8862
Malformed roundabouts: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8859
Road links: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8853

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks!

Andrew
