By enriching this data, we aim to support better pedestrian navigation and accessibility. Our dedicated team—based in India and California—will be actively contributing to OSM by: -* [[Grab]] – Another taxi-like company editing OSM -* [[Lyft]] – Another taxi-like company editing OSM +* Creating and updating walking paths and sidewalks to enhance walkability. +* Mapping indoor airport features such as terminals, entrances, security checks, elevators, and escalators for improved indoor navigation. +* Collaborating with local operations teams and using available data sources for validation and accuracy. +* Ensuring all edits comply with OSM’s Organized Editing Best Practices. -== References == -{{references}} +These efforts directly support Uber’s goal of providing seamless and accurate trip experiences for all users, particularly in urban environments where pedestrian infrastructure is essential. + +=== Global Contributions to OpenStreetMap === +Beyond walking improvements, Uber is also contributing to a broader range of mapping features around the world to enrich the OSM basemap. This global effort enhances not only Uber’s own navigation and routing systems but also benefits the wider OSM community. + +Key areas of focus include: + +* Updating road networks: improving geometry, road classes, names, turn restrictions, and directionality. +* Adding detailed lane information: including turn lanes and lane connectivity. +* Enhancing transportation infrastructure: mapping signposts, shields, and key transit features. +* To ensure the accuracy of edits, sources such as recent aerial imagery, street-level photography, and other locally recommended community references are reviewed. Only edits that are clearly supported by these sources are uploaded to OpenStreetMap (OSM) + +By contributing high-quality, verified data to OSM, we aim to support more accurate navigation, better trip planning, and a more comprehensive global map experience. + +== Sources of Edits == +Uber gathers ground truth and driver GPS data to keep maps up to date with real-time changes .

Use internal GPS probe data to locate inaccuracies. +* Data Validation – Cross-reference internal data with Mapillary SLI’s and field inputs to confirm discrepancies. +* Editing the Map – Use ID Editor for simple fixes and JOSM for complex edits. +* Validation & Error Resolution – Run validation tools, fix all errors and warnings. +* Quality Assurance – Perform internal audits to ensure compliance with OSM policies and guidelines. +* Changeset Upload – Upload the changeset with appropriate and descriptive comments. + +== UBER MAP Edit Team: == + +* Team List can be seen here: {{GitHub link|Uber-OSM|Uber OSM Data Team}} + +When members of the Uber editing team receive feedback or comments on a changeset, responding within 24 hours is treated as a top priority.
