[OSM-talk-be] Telenav Mapping Project

[Adrian Budugan]

Hi Marc,

It's nice to hear from you. From our first analysis, Brussels looks quite complete and correctly mapped. We are looking to  first correct any errors that might come up by running the Keep Right tool.
Where there will be any doubts, we will leave notes and/or ask the community before making any edits.

Kind regards,
Adrian

Hallo Adrian,

thanks for reaching out before starting the project.

Just like the others here, I wonder how bad the situation is in Brussels in your eyes. Do you have an overview of the wrong/missing data that you will try to fix? Do you have a list of sources that you will use to correct those problems? This information is missing in the TelenavMapping page you are linking to.
Without this information, it's hard to tell whether your remote work will improve the situation or undo the hard work of the local mapping community.

As for Flandres, we had a "street complete' project a few years ago that added all missing roads. Furthermore, before I had spent 2 years or so on adding all the turn:lanes on motorways, trunk and primary road, mainly in Flandres but also in Brussels and Wallonia. It might be worth to do an update on that. Of course, in the meantime, others have joined that project and have updated the data all over the country.


regards
