OpenStreetMap Adds Easier Reporting of Map Problems 45
An anonymous reader writes "OpenStreetMap recently topped one million registered users. Now they are trying to make the barrier to entry for contributing to the project even lower. A new 'notes' feature, announced on the project's blog, allows anonymous users to submit bug reports which will alert mappers in the area to incorrect or incomplete map information. The feature also allows for commenting on notes, potentially enabling two-way communication between a mapper and a bug reporter if more information is needed."
Re:Waze is a great client to update OSM (Score:4, Insightful)
as others have noted, but to make it perfectly clear...
waze is not using osm data.
waze is not contributing to osm data.
if you contribute to waze, it goes in a closed, proprietary database that you are not allowed to use (or even obtain).
with osm, you get all the resulting dataset for free to be used for any purpose.
