I laughed to myself when I saw a previous home town mentioned in a blog post discussing Battle Grid. I wasn’t really active in OSM when I lived in Greenville so I really never looked at the data that much (I think I did map some of the East Carolina University campus since it is usually a black box of blankness).

Tonight I thought I’d take a look at the data to see what all the talk was about. First the southside of Greenville look like a spider web. Forget the missing roads from the explosion of housing that has happened over the past few years. I’m not sure any of the roadways are even remotely in the correct location. Wow! I’m not sure if anyone is actually using this information or not but it is awful.

I’m working on aligning the roads in that area now and will go back to fill in the blank spots. Hopefully someone on the ground can start populating street names and the like. The next time I’m in town I’ll try to grab a few and see what I can get done.
