State of the Map Asia (SotM-Asia) is the annual regional conference of OpenStreetMap (OSM) organized by OSM communities in Asia. First SotM-Asia was organized in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2015, and the second was organized in Manila, Philippines in 2016. This year’s conference, third in the series, was organized in Kathmandu, Nepal on September 23 – 24, 2017 at Park Village Resort, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, Nepal. We brought nearly 200 Open Mapping enthusiasts from Asia and beyond to this year’s SotM-Asia. The event provided an opportunity to share knowledge and experience among mappers; expand their network; and generate ideas to expand map coverage and effective use of OSM data in Asian continent. We chose ‘from creation to use of OSM data’ as the theme of this year’s conference, emphasizing on the effective use of OSM data. We also brought together a government panel from four different countries in this year’s SotM-Asia. We believe this event will deepen the bond and enhance collaboration among OSM communities across Asia. More information about the conference can be found on: http://stateofthemap.asia.

- How bad are bad changesets?
- -Critical -Not critical
- Critical changesets Seriously breaking the map
- Renders breaking
- Fake cities added on the oceans

- Harmful Not critical but not needed on the map
- Tons of unwanted viewpoints, amenities, shops, pois
- Random parks and water bodies added
- Random roads added: footways, paths etc
- How or why does it happen? Unintentional - Inexperience, by mistake Intentional - fully aware of the bad changes

- Beautifully added unwanted highways
- How can they be corrected? To correct/prevent, first the error needs to be found and analysed why it happened.
- Three questions to ask! What/why/how did it happen? How was it corrected How to make sure that it doesn’t happen again
- Tools available
- Validate your own edits: JOSM Validator
- OSM Changeset Analyser
- Detectors and Compare functions How they help in catching the unwanted edits
- What is a compare function or a filter
- Comparisons between 2 versions
- What can it do? - Able to filter out changesets based on a few characteristics - Flags the potentially harmful changesets based on the compare function - Easy to keep an eye on a particular area based on the bbox.
- How a compare function or filter is developed FLOWCHART: A bad changeset Analysing why it happened Checking the features it affected Writing a compare function to flag those edits Using the compare function to flag similar edits!
- How the OSM community has responded!
- Changeset reverts
- Feature editing
- How you can do it ● Keep an eye on the area you are familiar with ● Use tools like OSMCha to find changesets in the area you are interested in. ● Various other tools that flags harmful changesets
