[talk-au] Openstreetmap Quality Issues

[Neil Penman]

I did that after the first revert.  However it didn't help :).  I think it
important to try to develop a culture that existing map data should not be
changed unless you know you are improving it.  If the map shows a road
network that differs from the Satellite in a way that may be due to design
then either you should contact the previous mapper before changing it or
you should get on your bike and head out to the site to verify that the
satellite imagery is in fact correct.
