Introduction

Our team is launching a mapping initiative to enhance the quality of road data in India and Indonesia. Our goals include:

• Correcting and improving road names for accuracy.
• Fixing geometry issues.
• Creating new roads based on osm imagery

Types of Activity

We focus on the following features:

• Adding missing roads
• Changing road connectivity/geometry
• Adding and improving street names
• Improving other objects affecting road geometry

Workflow

• Maproulette: We have some database of features that potentially have problems (dragged node, spam name & etc.), we plan to upload these features to Maproulette and fix them there.

• Visual Assessment: We will visually inspect the road data coverage in Bengaluru and Jakarta, adding any missing roads, based on OSM imagery.

Geographical scope

India and Indonesia
TBD (Possible contribution to 2025 Thailand)
