Hi I am in the eastern suburbs of Perth where minimal buildings have been traced.  I would be happy to check trace data in my area, lets face it hand tracing is not much fun  and very time consuming.  I think some inaccuracies are acceptable, they can be modified as they become apparent. The d

In this case I know the roads, I have walked, ridden a bike, and in some cases driven them. They exist, but they are in a restricted area. This is possibly why they do not appear on the WAMR data. I guess my question includes the concept of what roads should appear on the OSM map. I know

I suspect the answer to this question is simple. Following Sam Wilson's post about the data sources available for Western Australian Roads, and using Sam's approach I have begun adding and checking road names in WA. In the area that I am currently working there are a number of named "roads"

sign away. This may be the tricky bit. The Mapconnect data is incomplete and not that wonderful but it is better than what is in OSM at the moment, at least for WA. How much effort do I put into this task? Any other comments will be welcomed. Warren On 6/04/2015 8:00 PM, talk-au-requ
