[Talk-is] Data improvements in Iceland

[Morten Lange]

I agree with Jóhannes that what you propose sounds useul.
Additionally perhaps OSM editors could be granted permission to copy paths by hand from ja.is   
Paths that are on the maps of ja.is, but are missing on OSM.
This could be done the other way around as well, provided OSM is credited I guess. -- Regards / Kveðja / Hilsen Morten Lange

This sounds very useful Matt.

I have previously approached ja.is about the 360 imagery on behalf of OpenStreetMap á Íslandi and a permission to use it as a data source. The reply in 2018 was "not for now - maybe later" so if this is later then it would be great.

The GPS traces would be very nice too.

Regarding using LUKR as a source then be advised it is not 100% correct - it contains a number of ghost buildings for example (where a zone has been approved for a building but it hasn't been built yet). For example in my previous residence I had a license to build a garage (with other residents) and on LUKR the garage was already built while it still has not moved off the drawing board for 20 years.
