Goal of the activity

The main goal is to improve the quality of OSM data and our driver’s experience.

Timeframe

We are going to start mass edits from the beginning of May.

Any non-standard tools and data sources used, and their usage conditions

We used some internal tools for processing driver’s feedback. And for OSM edits we use only OSM iD and ground truth sources (Bing, Esri, Maxar satellite imagery and street level sources such as Mapilary ) + our user’s feedback.
