Mapbox in Mapgive's Workshop in Piura, Peru

Last week, Ruben and I helped lead an OpenStreetMap workshop in Piura - Perú, set up by Tom Gertin from MapGive/US State departament. This event was promoted by Embassy Lima, MapGive, Piura University and Regional Goverment of Piura.

As the local Spanish speaking OpenStreetMap experts we walked attendees through mapping techniques and got them excited about the project. The workshop helps to grow the OpenStreetMap community in Peru, introduces attendees to Mapbox and helps build our relationship with the US Department of State and the Lima Embassy around OpenStreetMap and MapGive.

Last week Ruben and I took part in a workshop in Cuzco with Mikel and Erika from MapGive / US State Department. This Workshop was part of the Cusco Secondary Cities Project. Mikel led the workshop with a translator and Erika, Ruben and I jumped in with helping people hands on through the exercises.

There were four learning processes involved in the workshop;

Data collection using OpenMapkit, Fieldpaper and Mapillary
Adding collected data to OpenStreetMap
Extracting data from OpenstreetMap
Using extracted data in Cuscogeonode and Mapbox.com

Incorrect identification of unclassified road

Tagging of service roads

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/343145602 This road is the only access for the houses along it. This is not a clear service road by function but a residential road that looks like it has not been constructed fully. My suggestions would be to tag such roads highway=path until it is widened to its full width.

A quarter million US roads added and aligned

Since September 2012 our team has aligned 260,309 roads in the United States. For this process we use fresh US government TIGER data to show where OpenStreetMap data is out of date, then we trace from imagery as needed and use road names from TIGER. (For a background on TIGER data in OpenStreetMap read Eric Fischer's blog post).

Here's the map showing the extent of the issue. Pink lines are the progress over US. Full interactive map.

We continue our work on TIGER with @MateoV's recent analysis that further focuses our TIGER work. This analysis looks only at areas with high Twitter
