[Talk-ko] NTIC source

[Andrew Errington]

Hello Martijn,

This was probably uploaded by user 'cyana' in 2009. He (or she) announced
it in the following message to my OSM message system (and may have
announced it in other ways: talk-ko didn't exist then).

Dear mappers of South Korea!

I would like to notice in advance to you that I will upload South Korea
Standard road data(source: National Traffic Information Center) to the OSM
server on Wednesday or Thursday (2009-07-08/09).

I spent a month modifying NTIC road data for OSM...

--- message shortened for brevity
At the time, Korea was pretty sparse in terms of road coverage and POIs.
But there was a problem when the import was done. Roads were duplicated and
overlaid, and, obviously, didn't join up with existing roads. Often, chunks
of road from the new data were missing too, so it didn't all join up with
itself.

The NTIC data was not quite up-to-date either. For the last decade or so
Korea has been building roads at an astonishing pace. New major roads have
been constructed. Existing roads have been upgraded, and even minor roads
have been realigned or generally improved. So the NTIC data was useful, but
old, and still a lot of work was required to map Korea.

It's quite possible that some roads tagged 'NTIC' have just been extended
from that import, and the tag has been retained.

Best wishes,

Andrew
