Portugal - Check Small Area Features

Hello Portugal OSM community,

I am sharing another MapRoulette challenge consisting of 400 tasks (Portugal - Check Small Area Features: MapRoulette ). By optimizing area features in OSM, you are helping make sure that they are correctly rendered for end users of OSM-based maps and applications. This challenge in Portugal helps you check area features of different types (various land use, natural, amenity and leisure features) that are smaller than expected for areas of these types. You may need to correct an area’s tagging, adjust its outline, or merge it with other areas. To do so, follow the detailed guidelines in the left-hand instruction panel of each task.

How was this challenge created?

We at TomTom identified different kinds of area features with a surface smaller than a certain predefined value:

  • areas tagged with amenity=clinic and < 100 m2,

  • areas tagged with amenity=hospital and < 100 m2,

  • areas tagged with amenity=parking and < 5 m2,

  • areas tagged with amenity=school and < 100 m2,

  • areas tagged with amenity=university and < 100 m2,

  • areas tagged with landuse=farmland and < 100 m2,

  • areas tagged with landuse=farmyard and < 100 m2,

  • areas tagged with landuse=forest and < 50 m2,

  • areas tagged with landuse=industrial and < 100 m2,

  • areas tagged with landuse=meadow and < 50 m2,

  • areas tagged with landuse=residential and < 100 m2,

  • areas tagged with leisure=park and < 50 m2,

  • areas tagged with natural=wood and < 50 m2.

Each of the tasks in this challenge points you to the location of one of the small areas we found.

Feel free to contact me by replying to this post/email or by leaving a comment on the Portugal GitHub page (Portugal | Data Improvements · Issue #163 · tomtom-international/open-data · GitHub ) or the MapRoulette challenge task itself.

Wishing you a great weekend and enjoyable editing!
