ImproveOSM has been updated with many new roads. We processed recent GPS data from a number of data partners with some great results. A total of 30,000 new missing road tiles were added, over 17000 in Indonesia alone.
Aside from the missing roads, we added 67000 potential missing one-way roads that we detected with high confidence. Internal testing revealed only 6% false positives.
We are happy to continue providing OSM mappers with high-quality data about missing things in OSM based on billions of GPS traces. Because ImproveOSM is based on actual drives from people using navigation or mapping software in their vehicles, and we apply a pretty high threshold for the number of trips and quality of the GPS data, you can be pretty confident that every ImproveOSM feature will lead you to something you can add to OSM. Even if the aerial imagery is poor.
You should see the new data in your ImproveOSM plugin or on the ImproveOSM website very shortly. Happy mapping and let us know what you mapped using ImproveOSM!
