[OSM-talk] Tele Atlas Introduces Online Map Feedback Tool

[Simon Hewison]

>>> Do we officially have a feedback form for errors in our map?

Anyway. I gave the Tele Atlas tool a try-out, and immediately used it to 
highlight one of their apparent easter egg streets that I know don't 
exist. They actually have an option for "street does not exist". Whether 
or not they will actually update their data and remove the easter eggs 
as they get spotted by the public is another matter.

I've also noticed that Tele Atlas show points of interest on there, and 
the points of interest are at least three years old in my area (long 
since closed car dealerships, etc), and the points of interest seem to 
in many cases be over 100 metres out of place, putting them on the wrong 
street, and the like. The more I look at this sort of discrepancy, the 
less I trust their data.

It's also interesting to compare their rendering of data with the people 
who resupply it (google maps / yahoo maps etc).
