[Talk-mn] Data corrections in Mongolia

[Andrew Wiseman]

Hello all,

This is Andrew again with Apple. In addition to the road network improvements I messaged about before, we are planning to work on some limited data corrections and improvements to OSM in Mongolia around water features and land use and land cover polygons, such as parks, university and hospital campuses, airports and similar features.

For example, sometimes lakes and national parks are missing a correct tag, or are digitized inaccurately (maybe due to old low resolution imagery). We will make sure to follow the appropriate OSM and local guidelines. We have been doing a similar project around Africa and in other regions for some time. 

I wanted to get your feedback and see if you had any suggestions or data resources we could use. 

There’s more information on our Github page: https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/issues/76
Thank you, 

Andrew

We were interested in making the fixes that users suggest on OpenStreetMap, where we can verify that they are correct. The feedback is usually usually things like corrections to street names and addresses, road network issues and missing or changed points of interest.
