[OSM-talk-be] Bingify Belgium

[Kenny Moens]

Hi guys,

I'm personally working on this, mainly my hometown area of Hulshout and 
the surrounding towns.

My focus is (in order):
1) roads (missing + aligning)
2) rivers / railway (missing + aligning)
3) landuse
4) city borders

On some parts (roads), sometimes I wonder about the actual road surface 
(paved/unpaved) and this typically triggers me to go and visit the road 
to see its condition. But this is rather hard with this weather :D

Also some parts to watch out for, which I already experienced: don't try 
to blindly trust bing data, the data isn't perfectly current. For 
example in my town of Houtvenne there is a new street (at least 1 year 
old), which is not visible on Bing yet, but which I mapped earlier on by 
means of GPX tracks.

Kind regards,

Kenny Moens
