Hi all, In an effort to make the roads data in OSM more complete in names and coverage, the Open Maps team at Microsoft is going through some available open data sets published by some of the US State agencies, and analyzing these to find gaps where named roads are published in the government data, but absent from OSM.
We're publishing these on Map roulette for the mapping community to investigate and edit accordingly. The map roulette challenges focus on the rural areas where less attention may be paid rather than the urban areas. The coverage is state wide but the published date, and quality differs from place to place. Below are the first few out there, so feel free to jump in - the water is fine! * Minnesota: https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3486 * New York: https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3489 * New Jersey: https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3470 * Virginia: https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3490 * South Carolina: https://maproulette.org/mr3/admin/project/2346/challenge/3487 Each challenge has some more information in the description, and links to the data sources being used. Please give us a shout with any comments, feedback, questions, or concerns! Thanks all, Oisin
