What we need?

+ humans

+ data

+ tools

Do not make street level imagery without sharing it

If you're:

• an organisation
• a human

Do not create private databases if that isn't really necessary

If you're:

• an organisation
• a human

Make your data accessible

This slide still applies in too many places

Create excellent data

If you're in an organisation

If you're a human (or not)

• Give minimal quality assurance

Road completion status
