[Talk-tz] MapRoulette challenges in Tanzania - help fix issues

[Andrew Wiseman]

Hello everyone,

I’m Andrew Wiseman with Apple’s Maps team. A while ago we started working on OSM data issues in Tanzania (https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/issues/62) and we recently used our Atlas data analysis tool (https://github.com/osmlab/atlas <https://github.com/osmlab/atlas>) to look at a few types of potential issues, such as building-road intersections, overlapping ways (usually duplicated roads) and road angles that are too sharp. I've posted the results of those checks on MapRoulette, a tool that lets you go through potential issues one by one and either correct them or indicate they are not a problem. I wanted to let you know they are available in case others wanted to try fixing some of them — I also plan to go through some of them myself. 

In MapRoulette you can either pick a random task to fix or click on a specific one. If you want to do tasks around a certain location, such as somewhere you are familiar with, you can click “more options” then “load tasks by proximity.” 

The checks are:

Tanzania sharp road angles: https://maproulette.org/challenge/3805 <https://maproulette.org/challenge/3805>
Tanzania building-road intersections: https://maproulette.org/challenge/3815 <https://maproulette.org/challenge/3815>
Tanzania overlapping ways: https://maproulette.org/challenge/3804 <https://maproulette.org/challenge/3804>
Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback.

Thank you,

Andrew
