You probably already know that OpenStreetCam detects signs in the U.S. (other regions in development, you can help, we’re open source).

The updated plugin will be released very soon, and our JOSM developer Beata will write a blog post going into much more detail on Telenav’s ImproveOSM blog. We look forward to your feedback!

In the mean time, in this video from SOTM US 2018 you can learn the technical background on how we do the aggregation.
