Our data team is constantly exploring ways to improve the quality and coverage of OpenStreetMap to create the most detailed map of the world. To do this, we use feedback from our users, probe data from partners, inspect directions routing failures, support HOT activations, clean up inconsistent metadata and regular mapping sprints.

To visualize our global contribution over the years, we used OSMlint, OSM-QA-tiles, and Tippecanoe. Are you global mapper? Try these tools to showcase your map edits! If you are new to OpenStreetMap, check out our mapping blog series. Hit me on Twitter for questions.

Our edits over North America. These includes large scale TIGER import re-alignment along with daily improvement based on user feedback.
