Hi, we have noticed that your users are currently making changes in Norway which are not quite in line with acceptable edits.
Here is a clear example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/122888545
The user has made the following mistakes:
- Using Maxar imagery instead of Norway Othophoto
- Changed what is a perfect example of a track to a path
My intuition here tells me that the user is simply going by a list of routing islands and has been instructed to change all such TRACK into PATH, and imagery is not used to verify in great detail (which is not even possible with Maxar).
We would kindly ask that the user make visual verification before reclassifying these cases. This is obviously a tractor road between two fields and it should in fact be a routing island.
If this is related to Tomtoms car routing, I would advise you that track in Norway is normally used for mapping heavy equipment roads, and personal car routing should be “at your own risk”. If your project requires having motor vehicle connectivity for tracks, and therefor reclassify track-islands to path, I would say the project parameters are incorrect.
I have made some assumptions here - maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m right - but the user in this case was definitively wrong, and many of your users have made similar edits.
