Contributing to OpenStreetMap, example: Brasilia

Last week hundreds of delegates from government, civil society and business gathered in Brasilia for the first Open Government Partnership meetings since the inception of this initiative. Transparency, accountability and open data as fundamental building blocks of a new, open form of government were the main issues debated.

OpenStreetMap, sometimes dubbed the "Wikipedia of maps" is an open geospatial database. Go to openstreetmap.org, create an account, and you're ready to edit the world. The accessibility of this form of contribution paired with the openness of its common data repository holds a powerful promise of commoditized geographic data. As this data repository evolves together with a surrounding tool chain many more players gain access to geospatial analysis and geo publishing previously limited to

XX,000 US roads added and aligned

Since MONTH YEAR our team has aligned XX,000 roads in the United States. For this process we use fresh US government TIGER data (for a background read Eric Fischer's blog post) to show where OpenStreetMap data is out of date, then we trace from imagery as needed and use road names from TIGER.

Here's the map showing the extent of the issue. Pink lines are the progress over US. Full interactive map.

A quarter million US roads added and aligned

Since September 2012 our team has aligned 260,309 roads in the United States. For this process we use fresh US government TIGER data (for a background read Eric Fischer's blog post) to show where OpenStreetMap data is out of date, then we trace from imagery as needed and use road names from TIGER.

Here's the map showing the extent of the issue. Pink lines are the progress over US. Full interactive map.

We continue our work on TIGER with @MateoV's recent analysis that focuses on TIGER issues in areas with high Twitter traffic, missing roads, naming issues and road lengths ov

Mapbox in Mapgive's Workshop in Cusco-Peru

Last week Ruben and I took part in a workshop in Cuzco with Mikel and Erika from MapGive / US State Department. This Workshop was part of the Cusco Secondary Cities Project. Mikel led the workshop with a translator and Erika, Ruben and I jumped in with helping people hands on through the exercises.

There were four learning processes involved in the workshop;

  • Data collection using OpenMapkit, Fieldpaper and Mapillary
  • Adding collected data to OpenStreetMap
  • Extracting data from OpenstreetMap
  • Using extracted data in Cuscogeonode and Mapbox.com
