[Talk-de] Help needed for mapping missing navigation data in Germany

[Tom Pfeifer]

Nikhil,
thanks for discussion your remote mapping plans in advance.

However, what I miss from the analysis on your diary page is the
analysis how much in need the named cities are for a remote mapping
approach, i.e. when you count existing turn restriction, what is your
estimate of missing ones or wrong ones?

My guess is that there are very few missing in Berlin, and the motorways
are quite complete with exit numbers and destination tagging.

Berlin is well covered with local mappers who are quite responsive to
constant changes in restrictions, lane layout and construction sites.
Relying mostly on mapillary, which covers about 3 years now, you would
get in trouble with these things having changed meanwhile.
