To calculate the "best" routes and more accurate arrival time estimates, #CoMaps assigns so-called penalties to pedestrian crossings or traffic calming features such as speed bumps.
For this to work, the data needs to be available and correct in #OpenStreetMap. On our blog, CoMaps contributor Jean-Baptiste shares some tips on how you can help with improving this data by finding tagging errors, all without having to do surveying in the field!

Enjoyed #Geomob London just over a week ago! Celebrated OpenStreetMap's 20th anniversary at UCL with inspiring talks on humanitarian mapping, street-level imagery, and AI-assisted projects. Great catching up with the community over #geobeers afterward. Felt nostalgic meeting someone born in 2006—the same year I attended my first OSM mapping party!
Excited for Geomob Edinburgh tomorrow!
