As it happens, I've done a bit of geometry cleanups via Bing/Mapillary around the Maynooth campuses recently. While there's clearly a lot of great local knowledge in the current data, the geometries are messy: areas that should be unglued from highways, overlaping landuses (whether that's a error depends on the landuse type), too many closed ways at one spot that should be converted to MP relations, bad alignment and orthogonalisation, and outdated data (bing is from 2011, so I trust any object that's newer, but most are from 2009). I'll do more fixup work in the coming days (roughly going from east to west), but the more you can fix as you go along adding local knowledge, the better :) -- Vdp Sent from a phone. _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list Talk-ie@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
