TomTom MapRoulette challenge for adding highways

Hi everyone,

First of all, I’d like to thank you for the contributions you made to our MapRoulette challenge Fix Building & Water Intersections. We really appreciate your help.

My team at TomTom has now created a new challenge to help us extend the road network in Ireland. It’s called Add Highways and as the name suggests, each task allows users to add a potentially missing highway. These ways were identified by comparing OSM to TomTom’s road centerlines, while also looking at the probe data we have in these locations. Additionally, we verified the presence of these ways on the available imagery sources for Ireland. The challenge currently contains 155 tasks, located in the Dublin area.

Our editing team may take up these tasks in a couple of weeks or so. Other community members interested in the challenge are of course welcome to try it out as well. If a way shouldn’t be added to OSM, the task at hand can be marked as “Not an issue”.

If you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to let me know.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

how can i see the data that you want to add?

Hi Amanda, in each task, a pin indicates where a way might be missing.

Hello OSM Ireland,

I would like to announce that the Add Highways MapRoulette challenge (Ireland - Add Highways)has been refilled!

Our team has added 457 new leads for potential missing highways across all of Ireland. MapRoulette provides clear instructions for each task, and there are plenty of resources available.This might be an opportunity to improve to a more comprehensive and accurate map of the Irish road network.

Le fearr maidir,
Salim Baidoun, TomTom
