Cleveland is a city in Ohio at latitude 41°29′00.24″ North, longitude 81°40′30.00″ West.
Well-Mapped and Up to Date Areas
- The Towpath Trail
- Cleveland Heights
- Downtown Cleveland (most businesses, buildings and building heights, and many addresses)
- University Circle and CWRU Campus
- Detroit Avenue in Cleveland
- Many Northeast Ohio's parks have been mapped, particularly in Cleveland's eastern suburbs and Northeast Ohio.
- Cleveland Metroparks (parks, nature reserves) and most amenities within the Cleveland Metroparks boundaries by Cleveland Metroparks employees (tkraft24, smathermather)
What needs to be mapped:
So much still left to map !
- Some suburbs have had minimal improvement since the TIGER import.
- Amenities like Churches, schools, parks, cemeteries, and Post offices were added during the GNIS Import. Most of them are represented as nodes instead of ways and are sometimes incorrectly placed on the map a few hundred feet from their actual locations. Some of these have since closed or changed names since added.
- The CSU college campus can be improved
Innerbelt / Outdated Imagery / GPS traces
Significant reconstruction to the I-90 bridge that runs through the southern end of downtown Cleveland, known locally as the Innerbelt, occurred from 2011 - October 2016. As a result, GPS traces, aerial imagery, and even some Mapillary images do not match what is currently on the ground and mapped. Its status in OSM is kept current with what's on the ground.
There is also extensive construction in parts of Cleveland - particularly Downtown (Flats East Bank project, Cleveland State Campus), The Cleveland Clinic Campus, and University Circle neighborhood so the aerial imagery may not match what is really there and mapped.
The Opportunity Corridor is a newer highway completed in 2022; aerial imagery does not match what's mapped on the ground.
Imagery
(Note this specifically applies to the city of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County)
For several years (2012-2017) Bing's imagery was the most up to date, highest resolution, and was generally used to map many features then.
As of early 2024, popular imagery layers are dated from the the following:
- The Cuyahoga County Orthoimagery (2023) is currently the recommend imagery layer. It is from the Spring 2023; It is available by default in iD and can be added to JOSM by using the following URL: wmts:https://gis.cuyahogacounty.us/server/rest/services/IMAGERY/2023_Spring_Ortho/MapServer/WMTS. When you add it as an imagery layer to JOSM, please use the layer that has its matrix set identifier set as default028mm.
- Bing's imagery is from summer 2020
- ESRI World Imagery is from Spring 2021 but has low resolution.
- The OSIP 6 inch imagery; available in iD and JOSM, is from mid-2017; 6-inch pixel resolution, provided by the State of Ohio. Great quality but it may already be outdated in some places.
- MapBox's Satellite imagery is from early 2017.
- ESRI World Imagery (Clarity) is from fall 2015 or 2016.
