There are some State of the Map talks this year that may be relevant:
Jungle Bus: Public transport networks mapping made easy
Challenges of open data in Japanese public transport
Bus stop maintenance in Switzerland (lightning talk)
Hopefully anyone unlucky enough not to see them live can get a vid
Just a quick note to say that this months meeting will be next Tuesday not

On the basis that the majority of mappers make few edits I suspect that a
change to the name would be seen as a correction by the other mapper and the

road signs.
Church names are more problematic because they and their dedications are

Andy, that sounds reasonable from the perspective of your mapping activities,
but it doesn't address the question of the contents of the map. If someone else
was at the other end of the street and saw a sign subtly different to yours, we
would end up with an inconsistency in the map data and no
I came up with a simple solution for road sign differences very early on in my
mapping. I only map the name I see first J . Generally I ignore the sign at the
other end of a street unless there has been a complete name change.
