[Talk-ca] Map Feedback - Canada

[David Salmon]

Hi Canada OSM community,

In TomTom’s endeavor to improve OSM, we plan to conduct edits based on user input and feedback. This activity is the result of checking if feedback received for the TomTom map is also valid for OSM. Note that, starting with a small number of tasks, we will only perform edits if they add value to the OSM map, do not conflict with any recent edits made by the community, and are supported by a local source.

In the absence of credible source material, we will reach out to the local community for guidance. We expect to start with editing POIs, land use, addresses, highways, and potentially water features during this activity. Over time, we will evaluate more feedback and expand to other features.

You can refer to our Canada GitHub issue (https://github.com/tomtom-international/open-data/issues/3) under ‘Edits based on map feedback’ for further details regarding the types of expected edits. The MapRoulette challenge used for these edits will be accessible only for our editing team as it could contain confidential information.

Along with the #tomtom hashtag that accompanies every TomTom edit in OSM, we will also add the #tt_mapfeedback to the changeset if it is an incidental edit resulting from user feedback. We anticipate to start editing for this activity within Canada in about 2 weeks, approximately on June 6, 2023.

As we progress, we will take into account any feedback we receive. Please reach out to me if you have any thoughts or questions about this upcoming activity.

Thanks and have a great week!

David
