That's just wishful thinking. They all came up with Overture Maps precisely to focus on a more data-driven approach and avoid the whole community-consensus debate. If they wanted a round-table talk with us, they would have organised it themselves long ago. Just take their MR challenges for what th

TomTom has created the same challenge for the Netherlands: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/37471 Just days before that challenge was created, I had a discussion on Discord with some other Dutch mappers. I thought it would be easy to tag all remaining highway=motorway without a surface ta

Thanks Andy, We do use country default values and other customizations. I didn’t really want to unpack the entire methodology. The point is the more attribution we have, the easier and faster it is to conduct replicable analysis around the world. It helps from a coding perspective, even if the

I see that despite this discussion, TomTom is proceeding with its quixotic quest to get mappers to tag surface tags on motorway, just now in other countries: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/37540 Would you care to inform the community what it is that you're trying to accomplish here? O
