Belém, & Vitoria (August, 2021)

Ground Focus

• The primary focus for ground surveys is adding street names, missing geometry, and one-ways.

Post Processing

• After the ground survey has been conducted, our office team focuses on reviewing the footage gathered and updating street names by integrating the current data and physical road signs.
• The team adds turn restrictions, barriers, pedestrian crossings, ref tags, surfaces to roads, lanes, classifications, destination tags, and additional missing geometry.

Suggested Community Edits

• After incorporating the available data from the ground survey and processing the footage we will compile suggested edits for the region.
