From one mapper to another, I can say that we truly admire how the OSM community collaborates to shape a map product that benefits everyone, and we would love to be a part of it. I would like to let you know that we are planning on contributing to OSM by providing meaningful leads to improve map quality and to locate missing features. Some initial ideas include but are not limited to providing leads from media sources extracted by our web scraping tool or locating missing highways from new housing developments.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We would love to hear from you.
