Hello from the Mapbox Team!

At the end of March 2022 our team is going to start a mapping project in Slovak Republic.
As part of on-going work to improve the quality of OpenStreetMap data, our team is planning to review a subset of the detections to better understand the type of issues, and also fix any valid data issues directly in the OSM. We’re concentrating on road mistakes to improve map condition. In Slovak Republic we plan to upload data once a week to see and fix the latest mistakes in mapping after reviewing the 1st iteration.

We would really appreciate your feedback, any questions you have about this project, as well as local insights that you think will help us better understand the data.

There's a link to our Github ticket to the related issue and a link to our page in OSM Wiki

Best regards,
Member of Mapbox team,
Sonya

As Imagery we use Orthophotomosaic Slovakia (is the most actual (not in whole Slovakia) and best quality)
And for mapping roads, which are not visible because of trees we use  DMR5 hillshade

Hello Sonya

Thank you for the project introduction.
When looking through the lint examples on your wiki page it sounds reasonable and it should improve quality of existing OSM data.

Does it mean that you have some automatic scripts for easy-to-solve errors, and for the complicated errors you will review them manually with help of satelite + street imagery?

By the way, there was similar activity by TomTom few months back which you can see in this thread: https://groups.google.com/g/osm_sk/c/EJLo-sqLEYQ

  best regards, Miro

Hello Sonya

By the way, there was similar activity by TomTom few months back which you can see in this thread: https://groups.google.com/g/osm_sk/c/EJLo-sqLEYQ

And there was similar activity from Bolt which just created invalid oneways which were clearly wrong even going by imagery they claimed to use. I hope Mapbox will put more experienced mappers into this project.
Thanks.
