[Talk-GB] Mapbox mapping activity

[Sonya Khilchyk]

Hello from the Mapbox Team!


In February 2023 our team is going to start a mapping project in the UK.

The project was created to review errors in roundabouts data and fix it
where there’s possibility for improving the road network and enough ground
truth sources. We’re concentrating on road mistakes to improve map
condition. We’re using the automatic process for getting the detections
which is based on osmium and osmLint (link
<https://github.com/osmlab/osmlint>).

In cases of lack of up to date satellite or imagery the team doesn’t make
any edits. And always taking care about local sources, which are the most
relevant and unique for each country.

On our wiki page and ticket (osm wiki
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities/missing_roundabouts_UK>
/ticket <https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues/420>) there is detailed
information about the background, satellite imageries, timeframes, contact
mails. Also, for more clear understanding we have osm wiki pages with more
detailed info about how we deal with feedback (link
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_Mapbox_Data_RAVE_team_work_on_receiving_feedback_from_OSM_users>
).

We would really appreciate your feedback, any questions you have about this
project, as well as local insights that you think will help us better
understand the data.


Best regards,

Member of Mapbox team,

Sofiya
