I’ve been doing this for the past five years! But I never made it a point to take routes I normally wouldn’t. Maybe that should change!!

Is there a download page for these? Thanks!!

I wish I were there to help! This is beyond amazing work; thank you so much!!! Justin

You can download the Desa boundaries. The difficult part is having them agree to us importing into OSM, and you have to get the larger OSM community to agree on the import (*which is just as difficult).

This is Amazing! Cheers!

where do you get the ~23% of the world’s roads are in the US figure from? I didn’t see a source for that figure in the paper?

I map a lot of places in OSM. ( https://yosmhm.neis-one.org/?MapMakinMeyers) I think your numbers are way off (especially after looking at your first post, now your new number). Do either of you actively map in OSM? You would get a better feel for what is missing where and have a better grasp on completeness.

Cheers

I downloaded a ton of NGA data when it somehow was released to the public if you would like that to help with such a project. There are a few other datasets that could help along the way too if you need resources

here’s the larger image: https://revolutionarygis.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/gpx_may.jpg

I use these: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eartoearoak.gpxlogger http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mis/gis/tools/arcview/extensions/DNRGarmin/DNRGarmin.html

create monthly backups

I’ve been doing this for over a year!

what can I do to help you? Thanks! Justin

Thanks! Do you know the person in charge of that project? Is there an updated list of sources/ sites as per the data? Cheers

@SimonPoole, is there open address point data for the entire nation? Thanks!

I am just sharing with the osm community - license/ metadata is in a txt file included with the data

I work with admin boundaries globally every day. I have no plans for these - OSM people get all wild about imports, data, etc. So if it come to that, the larger community can discuss - I am just a data guy -

If you need boundaries for any specific country let me know - I have tons of them ;)

I just trace imagery… http://yosmhm.neis-one.org/?MapMakinMeyers

Cheers, J

Jothirnadh, I will send you some updated nga locations and will shift them based on macthing village and urban area within settlement to help your team. I can send in a csv or shapefile format. I will do Karnataka as a poc for your team message me your email
