History

There have been several roads mapped in Ghana from 2017 onward from Organized Mapping by mappers working for Apple. Over the years other mapping teams have also contributed to these such Bolt and TomTom. Also over enthusiasm from HOTOSM remote mappers and YouthMappers organisations. The imagery available at the time of massive highway=* (mostly highway=residential and overwhelming highway=path) mapping was very out of date, resulting a lot of non-existing roads in Ghana. In 2023, recent imagery have become available, unleashing lot of useless data.
