Mapbox mapping activity

Hello from the Mapbox Team! In March 2022 our team is going to start a mapping project in Czech Republic. As part of on-going work to improve the quality of OpenStreetMap data, our team is planning to review a subset of the detections to better understand the type of issues, and also fix any valid data issues directly in the OSM. We're concentrating on road mistakes to improve map condition. In Czech Republic we plan to upload data once a week to see and fix the latest mistakes in mapping after reviewing the 1st iteration. We would really appreciate your feedback, any questions you have about this project, as well as local insights that you think will help us better understand the data. There's a link to our Github ticket to the related issue and link to our page in OSM Wiki. We will upload fresh data in a few days before the review process and will update our documents with json files. Best regards, Member of Mapbox team, Sonya

Hi! Thanks for your questions and feedback. 1) https://osmcha.org/changesets/118608862/ This road is badly visible on pictures, that's the point of its deletion. We got your thoughts, it's our mistake. Here's changesets of reverting and fixing this area: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118627014 2) https://osmcha.org/changesets/118602442/ This road is also badly visible on pictures, as in the 1st case, but going deeply through the images it's understandable that our fix is not correct. Here's changesets of reverting and fixing this area: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118627443 3) https://osmcha.org/changesets/118594066/ You're right, the road really exists and should be corrected including the parking spaces. Here's changesets of reverting and fixing this area: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118627328 Thanks for your attention! We are always open for suggestions!

Hi, I saw you started editing, so I checked a few of your changes: 1) https://osmcha.org/changesets/118608862 - Why was this road deleted? It exists, it's even visible on your Maxar imagery 2) https://osmcha.org/changesets/118602442 - This is not a dragged node, it's normal fork in the road. Was mapped 100% correctly before you "fixed" it. 3) https://osmcha.org/changesets/118594066 - While this is correctly marked as "non existent road", it's clearly offset and should be corrected (moved, not deleted), including the parking spaces that are mapped incorrectly. Especially #1 is worrying, as this road clearly exists yet it was deleted. Why? And #2 just completely mangled the way geometry, was matching reality before and now it's complete fiction... r00tcz

Hi again, Thanks for the quick action and reply. I am commenting to 2) only: The fix is acceptable but to be honest, probably still less accurate than the original version. Is there any chance your company might invest in a better aerial coverage? I am sure that in many cases Maxar is good enough to improve the map. But in other cases (like this one) the lack of resolution and incorrect alignment can lead to a result that is actually worse than the previous state. Isn't it a waste of resources, considering that your mappers are probably paid staff? Regards, VladaC Dne 18.3.2022 11:51, Sonya Khilchyk napsal:
