Re: [Talk-us] Add street names from TIGER

Mike — 
Perhaps we should post a challenge based on that data then. Ping me if you want 
to work on that.
We’re going to have public leaderboards for challenges on MR soon so it can be 
a fun competition, who can fix the most names.

Looks like a great list of challenges!

  Considering that there are a number of counties in my region (Upstate 
South Carolina) where we plan on synchronizing to the newest official 
data and verifying against imagery, a TIGER compare challenge would be 
counter-productive.   There were a great many name changes and street 
additions and deletions compared to 2007 TIGER and probably even recent 
TIGER.


  Of course there's always the chance in the future if all local 
mappers go inactive, it would make sense to have a TIGER challenge to 
add the new and growing areas.

[Talk-us] Add street names from TIGER

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi all,

As an experiment my colleagues from the Telenav map team churned out some local 
MapRoulette challenges for adding missing street names from TIGER. The tasks 
were created by comparing TIGER (2017) to existing OSM data using our 
conflation tool Cygnus, which outputs ways with no names in OSM but that have 
names in TIGER.

The task is simply to go in and add the name to OSM unless common sense tells 
you not to. I wrote a diary post that talks about these challenges a little 
more: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/mvexel/diary/46879 
 

We have a few of them currently active:
* New Orleans https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3086 
 
* Albuquerque / Santa Fe https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3066 
 
* Albany https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3088 
 
* Tucson https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3068 
 
* Tulsa https://maproulette.org/mr3/browse/challenges/3067 
 

There’s currently a total of 1303 tasks in these challenges. Just imagine how 
many tasks there could be nationwide. I will send an updated completion number 
for these challenges next week. Please give MapRoulette (another) try and let 
me know any issues or wishes at https://github.com/osmlab/maproulette3/issues 
 

Thanks and happy mapping —
