[talk-ph] Data improvements in the Philippines

[Andrew Wiseman]

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for the response! Could you share some of the examples where they don’t match so we can take a look?

The street names were added from address point data that we have. It was conflated from the address points to nearby street segments so it is possible that some might not be correct or may actually be for another nearby street, which is why I suggest that if you do want to use it it is verified on the ground. The address point data was collected through a variety of methods including field survey.

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

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.
