Quality Assurance

The following tools are useful for verifying quality:

• Transparent map comparison (Mapnik vs. Google Maps)
• Keep right, shows mapping errors
• OpenStreetBugs (not very active)
• OSM Inspector: Tagging, Highways, Addresses
• Map Compare (Mapnik vs. Google Maps)

Comparison with other maps may be useful:

• Kansalaisen Karttapaikka, topografic map
• Kansalaisen Karttapaikka, orthophoto
• Turun Seudun Karttapalvelu
• Eniro tie kartasto
• Metsähallituksen retkikartta
• Yahoo maps
• Bing maps has high-res aerial, street map and bird's eye
• GeoHack

Because of the copyright restrictions you are not allowed to copy the maps. It's good to compare them with your own GPS surveying, as assurance that your mapping is correct. Also doing comparison where mapping is needed is useful.
