Good idea, Stephan. Too bad it’s too far away for me.

I have received a reply from Frederik Ramm of DWG:

They are well aware of the issue, but are unable to act, unless

He suggests we get together and work out exactly what we see as problems and how we want FB to address them.

There are now several forum topics dealing with this problem. May I suggest one is chosen and stickied?

From where I am sitting I can’t tell what FB are now doing. Are they continuing as before, have they stopped? Everything I have dealt with so far is about a year old already.

The problems I have seen so far:

  1. Ways mis-aligned, probably due to lack of GPS tracks and/or reliance on single imagery.
  2. Lots of private driveways mapped as residential. (Should we even map such driveways at all?)
  3. The tracks vs. roads and paved vs. unpaved issue. We need to sort this out as a group once and for all.
  4. Massive amount of data already imported that needs reviewing/fixing/deleting.

The ball is now in our court.

Kind regards,
Peter.
