complain when we use OSMAnd as a GPS and it doesnt say what the exit
description is via TTS

Yes, they did, and they mainly focused on the main metros I believe. The
remaining ones should be mainly outside of the larger urban areas. See
http://maproulette.org/view/499 for locations of the tasks.

I think mapbox covered this in a previous pass on the canadian
motorways(and documented this pretty well):

[Talk-ca] MapRoulette challenges

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi all,

I hope you are aware of MapRoulette! If not, it's a micro-tasking tool for
OSM where you can solve small problems / make small enhancements to OSM
data in a randomized fashion.

You may not be aware that there are quite a few Canada specific challenges
already. One of them was drawn up by my colleagues at Telenav and I wanted
to get your feedback. This is around motorway exits. We have had an
extensive exit_to vs destination discussion about this in the US and this
eventually came out clearly in favor of using destination. This is now the
majority tag for exit signposts in the US. We identified ~1200 exits in
Canada that don't use this yet. These are in challenge
http://maproulette.org/map/499

If you want to give it a try and send me feedback on this, I would
appreciate it. There is pretty good OpenStreetView and also Mapillary
coverage for many main highways in Canada already so most can be resolved
without local knowledge.

Thanks for your time!

Martijn
