Hi Greg & other Phoenix area mappers — To explain a bit more. We will mostly be looking at navigation-specific attributes similar to the editing we’re doing in Detroit (see here: https://github.com/TelenavMapping/mapping-projects/issues <https://github.com/TelenavMapping/mapping-projects/issues>) so: turn restrictions, missing roads (if any), one-way roads, traffic signals, some carto features such as parks. As always we will respect local mappers’ work above everything. Sources will be Bing / DG, OpenStreetCam, Mapillary, ImproveOSM (GPS based detections) augmented with government data where possible (which is where Horea’s question came from).
Where possible we will publish MapRoulette / Tasking Manager jobs for anyone to participate. If you have any (other) specific insights to share, like locally specific mapping practices, things on the ground that are different / specific to the area, data you’ve worked with, let us know. Thanks! Another way you can help is drive around and capture OSC / Mapillary in the area (duplicate coverage welcome) even though OSC coverage is already pretty good (mostly thanks to Greg). If you have any questions or concerns just email me or bug me on Slack. If you know of any Phoenix area mappers that are not on here / are unlikely to read this I would appreciate it if you could put us in touch with them.
