Hello OSM Sweden,
I would like to announce a new MapRoulette challenge: Sweden - Fix Spiky Buildings (MapRoulette)! We’ve identified buildings on OpenStreetMap (OSM) with oddly sharp angles. Most building corners are close to 90 degrees, but this challenge focuses on buildings where angles are less than 15 degrees. While some might be real, many are likely incorrect data.
The Task:
Improve OSM data quality by reviewing the identified buildings and see if their shapes need correction.
Important Considerations:
- Some buildings, especially historical ones, may have unique angles.
- If unsure, consult the community forum for guidance.
- The task will lead you to the building itself, not necessarily to the specific “spiky” node. Please zoom in carefully and search for the issue.
Why Fix Spiky Buildings?
Accurate building shapes on OSM benefit everyone! They improve:
- Data quality for various applications
- Navigation services
- Urban planning
- Emergency response

Thank you,
Best,
