My team is interested in doing some work on the road network in Vietnam on OpenStreetMap, things like adding missing roads, making sure roads connect properly, fixing incorrect alignments with GPS traces, ensuring road classifications are consistent, and other similar issues. Are there places you know of that need improvement or types of problems you see frequently? We have a Github page here about the project: https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/issues/121 Thank you, Andrew Apple, Inc.

Hi Andrew and thank you for your interest in OSM, as well as great, open communication. I have only mapped in Vietnam when visiting, but I long for returning and mapping a bit more, as well as benefiting from our collective work. >From my visit, I recall that a major challenge was the rapid development - new highways were built all over the place, buildings torn down and built anew... One could only rely on ortophoto layers (and older GPS traces) after visiting the place. If there was a way to obtain recent - and preferably updated every now and then - ortophoto for Vietnam, it could be of a great help. > We have a Github page here about the > project: https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/issues/121 > > Thank you, > Andrew > Apple, Inc. > > Andrew Wiseman |  Maps | andrew_wiseman at apple.com > -- Rihards
