Hi, I want to share some follow up from our team (this is ongoing).
* We looked more closely at the issues of naming driveways. We identified a total of 16 changesets that had named driveways in them that we added, and we fixed these if they hadn’t been already. * We have discussed and tightened up our best practices and policies dealing with evaluating and using external data sources, especially when the information conflicts with local mappers’ work. The entire team appreciates your close scrutiny of our work. We feel bad about the mistakes we make, and the energy wasted on fixing. I know that we have also made a large number of good improvements to the map in Canada; improvements that will help especially navigation use of OSM. Please don’t hesitate to share new and ongoing concerns. I will follow up as the team works on improving our process.
