Hi John,
I like things like this; I'm not sure if I've got anything useful for you,
but happy to talk about it. I think that routing would be a good place to
start testing.
For example, in 2009 OSM reported that it was a 7298 km drive from Cape
Town to the Kenya / Ehtiopia border. In 2010 this wa
The weekly round-up of OSM news, issue # 380,
is now available online in English, giving as always a summary of all things
happening in the openstreetmap world:

A. Brensch has checked the major road network for Germany and other
countries.
Please test some of the links and see how difficult (impossible) it
gets, towards the end, to fix this problems without local knowledge
A more systematic way yet would be to make a map where you pick a grid
of points, say 1 every mile, and then calculate a route from each point
to a spot 10 miles east and 10 miles north of that starting point and
then sum the distances and store that sum as the value for that point.
Anywhere you ge
I think it is much more basic than that. We seem to have a number of
isolated islands of mapping that have highways but the islands are not
connected.
The islands often seem square in shape and normally quite well mapped but
they do not have connections to other parts of the map. I suspect they
