[Talk-us] Map Feedback - United States

[David Salmon]

Hello All,

In TomTom’s endeavor to give back to OSM, we plan to conduct edits based on user input. This activity is the result of checking if incidental map feedback received on the TomTom map is also valid for OSM.

Note that, starting with a small number of tasks, we will only perform edits if they add value to the OSM map, do not conflict with any recent edits made by the community, and are supported by a local source. In the absence of source material that supports the update, we will reach out to the local community for guidance.

We will start with editing POIs, land use, addresses, highways and some water features during this activity. Over time, we will evaluate additional feedback types and expand to other features. You can refer to the United States GitHub issue<https://github.com/tomtom-international/open-data/issues/143> page for further details on the types of planned edits.

The MapRoulette challenge used for these tasks will be accessible only for our editing team as the map feedback could contain confidential information. Along with the #tomtom hashtag that accompanies every TomTom edit in OSM, we will also add the #tt_mapfeedback to the changeset if it is an edit resulting from user feedback.

We plan to start in the United States in 2 weeks. Over the coming weeks, you will see similar announcements in a selection of countries where there is available map feedback and then expand to other countries. Please reach out to me if you have any thoughts or questions about this upcoming activity.
All the best,

David Salmon
