Organised Editing/Activities/Mapbox Dealerships
Introduction
In order to improve data about dealerships of Toyota and Lexus, our team gathered data from the dealers. Some of the data were provided by Toyota itself. The information can be viewed in the “Non-standard tools and data sources” section.
The dealership's improving process is divided into 2 stages. Firstly, every dealership in the dataset is checked by our Data QA team and if the data about the dealership is correct and there is a mismatch between OSM and our data, the Data QA team member sends a suggestion to add/edit the POI on OSM through Mapbox Contribute.
Secondly, the Mapbox team that is responsible for OSM corrections makes the changes that are suggested by the above-mentioned team.

Non-standard tools and data sources
Mapbox Contribute is the tool that collects suggestions to improve data on Mapbox maps (currently it supports POIs, addresses, roads, and speed limits). All feedback is sent to TO-FIX which displays all feedback from users of Mapbox Contribute in an appropriate way and allows our team to process it and make edits on OpenStreetMap if necessary. In conclusion, in case of a need to improve the Mapbox map, a user can only reach out to our team via Mapbox Contribute.
