[Talk-GB] TomTom planning edits based on map feedback

[Marjan Van de Kauter]

Hi everyone,
As a new way of making improvements to OSM, TomTom is planning to conduct edits based on user feedback submitted for the TomTom map that is also valid for OSM.
We will only perform edits if they add value to OSM, do not conflict with any recent updates made by the community, and are supported by a local source. In the absence of credible source material, we will look for local guidance.
We will start by implementing feedback about the following types of features: highways, addresses, POIs, land use, buildings and water. For further details about the types of edits we will make, you can take a look at our GitHub page<https://github.com/tomtom-international/open-data/issues/6> for the UK (> section 'Edits based on map feedback'). Over time, we will expand to other features.
Along with the #tomtom hashtag that accompanies every TomTom edit in OSM, changesets based on map feedback will receive the hashtag #tt_mapfeedback. This will allow you to track the updates we're making during this activity.
In the UK, we plan to start with a small number of edits based on map feedback in two weeks, and then continue with incidental edits spread over time.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments. As we progress, we will of course take into account any feedback we receive from the community about this activity.
Have a great week!
Marjan
