OSM’s presence in Ireland began last year. Covergae is increasing everyday. Coast line, all motorways, almost all national roads, rivers, lakes and waterways, pockets of better coverage.  

to do
  • The national border with NIR is rough, need known, good waypoints on the border, 
  • national N roads
  • regional roads
  • urban details
  • details for areas outside the major population centres
  • new local road numbering should be captured
    
lessons learned
  • dublin suburban areas are well covered but the city centre is less well covered
  • is this because people map at home and but not at work and around work
  • issues with bilingual place names
  • difficulty with windy, rural roads
  • lack of place names, signage etc
  • windy roads, no block structure
  • importance of consistent taging
