Just re-discovered Strava [0] last week, you can overlay their anonymized traces in JOSM and iD and use as reference for mapping roads. I found a lot of unmapped roads in several areas last week. Also, interesting to see in strava where cyclists and runners go. Very few traces in SLEX versus MacArthur highway.
More and more passive data are now giving permission to use their data as additional reference for OSM editing like the upcoming plans of Mapbox and runkeeper [1]. Of course, always load the GPS traces uploaded in OSM to see what others have contributed and forgot to digitize. :) [0] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Strava [1] http://venturebeat.com/2015/08/17/mapbox-adds-running-and-cycling-routes-from-runkeeper-into-its-mapping-software/ -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden https://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ http://twitter.com/maningsambale ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
