🚀 A menor cidade do Brasil no OpenStreetMap! 🗺
A UMBraOSM acaba de lançar um projeto na plataforma do Tasking Manager da HOTOSM para mapear Serra da Saudade (MG) — a cidade com a menor população do Brasil — usando dados do Open Google Buildings! 🏘✨
🔍 O projeto está disponível em: 🔗https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/20994
Com essa iniciativa, mostramos que é possível mapear qualquer cidade brasileira com os dados abertos e de alta qualidade disponibilizados pelo Google. A licença do projeto permite o uso desses dados no OpenStreetMap, facilitando e acelerando o mapeamento colaborativo de edificações em todo o país.

Vamos juntos fortalecer o mapa livre do Brasil, uma cidade de cada vez! 🇧🇷🧭

While technically the licence of google buildings is compatible with OSM, importing ODbL licensed datasets in any larger fashion is an extremely bad idea, and essentially you are handing google significant power over the future of OpenStreetMap.
I would further note that these imports don’t seem to have been discussed anywhere where the above could have been pointed out to your in advance.

in response to your comment, this is not a mass import because the data is being mapped manually in order to verify the data by those who are willing to map in osm, and we are also giving workshops to train mappers who are willing to map their city.
we have been working in the OSM Brazil community since 2024 processing this data, correcting it so that only now we can map this data in OSM and start this mapping, which I repeat is not an import as you mentioned in your comment.
It is a manual mapping that goes through a review before being mapped, in addition to being mapped block by block and not a direct import.
a brief comparison between google data and microsoft data this google data is much better than the microsoft data that is available for mapping and no one tries to improve this data, causing a lot of errors for those who use it in OSM.
You could try to correct this microsoft data or even notify microsoft so that the data can be improved, because it is available with many errors and even greater errors than the google buildings data.
