We have dirt paths to oil rigs mapped as roads as well as alleys or driveways. There are also tons of roads that are represented which do actually have names but the data owner is too lazy or too inept to populate the attribute table. I am shocked that TomTom (navteq or teleatlas) allowed this out. This is the same data that they charge $150,000 to license!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04449116060496176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123225361504762353.post-65145071959355690252014-06-13T07:37:33.428-07:002014-06-13T07:37:33.428-07:00Here's a GLOBAL map of where the streets in Op...Here's <a href="http://qa.poole.ch" rel="nofollow">a GLOBAL map of where the streets in OpenStreetMap have no name</a>. OpenStreetMap data in North America was imported from TIGER data, which was pretty inaccurate, but reasonably accurate with regards names (or lack of names) so the results there are probably fairly similar (what d'you think?) <br /><br />Elsewhere in the world we see the same pattern of rural areas having unnamed streets. There's also pockets of data where the OpenStreetMap community have traced in whole cities from aerial imagery, but there's no active local on-the-ground community adding those names into the database yet.<br /><br />We see this in India and Africa. This is a shame, but obviously it's difficult to build up a community of hi-tech mapping folks in some of these places. In those countries many streets genuinely don't have names, but OpenStreetMap can be good place to capture informal locally used names. I was recently involved in <a href="http://hot.openstreetmap.org/updates/2014-05-08_london_hot_congo_mapathon" rel="nofollow">mapping the city of Lubumbashi in the Congo</a>. We got locals involved specifically in capturing street names, using an interesting new three-phased paper-based approach. So there, at least, are a few fewer streets with no name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123225361504762353.post-78369698651252213902014-06-10T12:08:27.933-07:002014-06-10T12:08:27.933-07:00Way cool.
