Kaart Groundwork & Editing
Kaart conducts ground surveys for improvements to OSM data. A list of editors can be found on the Kaart wiki page.
- Mapillary imagery from the Greece drives can be viewed here.
Thessaloniki (June, 2018)
Ground Focus
- We focused on inputting street names wherever street signs could be found.
- We drove a lot of one way streets to verify where they begin and end. Many were missing or incorrect in OSM. These have been fixed to the best of our ability.
- Fixing inaccurate geometry was also a major focus.
Post Processing
- After the ground survey was conducted, our office team reviewed the footage gathered and updated street names by checking the consistency with current data and physical road signs.
- The team added several turn restrictions, pedestrian crossings, surfaces to roads, lanes, and additional missing geometry.
Suggested Community Edits
- We believe that the names we added to the streets in Thessaloniki are 100% accurate. That being said, Greek is not our first language. It is worth always taking a second look to ensure proper spelling of street and POI names.
- There are still many missing names in this area where we were unable to drive due to time constraints. Additional local user contributions to street names will improve the map substantially.
The ground survey of Thessaloniki, Greece was conducted by Kaart Team members Te-Ika and Whimsical Otter.
Athens (October, 2018)
Ground Focus
- We focused on inputting street names wherever street signs could be found.
- One way directions were labeled incorrectly or were missing altogether.
- Fixing inaccurate geometry was also a major focus.
Post Processing
- After the ground survey was conducted, our office team reviewed the footage gathered and updated street names by checking the consistency with current data and physical road signs.
- The team will add turn restrictions, pedestrian crossings, surfaces to roads, lanes, and additional missing geometry.
Suggested Community Edits
- As with Thessaloniki, we believe that the names we added to the streets in Athens are 100% accurate. Again, Greek is not our first language. It is worth always taking a second look to ensure proper spelling of street and POI names.
- Ground surveys. There are many areas in Athens that were too dense for us to get to. Further ground verification should be done where possible.
- There are still many missing names in this area where we were unable to drive due to time constraints. Additional local user contributions to street names will improve the map substantially.
The ground survey of Athens, Greece was conducted by Kaart Team members vespax, pizzagal, LSkalayo, Velocimaptor, Te-Ika, Whimsical Otter, theArchDruid, and Corban8.
