[talk-ph] Data improvements in the Philippines

[Andrew Wiseman]

Hello everyone,

This is Andrew again from the Apple team. I wanted to let you know that we are sharing street names missing from OSM in the Philippines under the ODbL in case you were interested in taking a look. The data is in a geojson file with line geometry, name and OSM way ID(s). There is more information and you can download the file here: https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/blob/master/STREETNAMES.md

Thanks,
Andrew

We are planning to work on some data corrections and improvements to OSM in the Philippines around the road network — for example, sometimes there are missing roads or routing issues due to incorrect intersections or missing connections. We will make sure to follow the appropriate OSM and local guidelines.

Some examples may be things like coastlines and national parks that are missing a tag or are from old imports that may not be very accurate. I’ll reach out before we start that effort too.
