OpenStreetMap
Be careful with when working with Microsofts automatically identified buildings in RapID. Microsoft is apparently using its misaligned imagery therefore buildings are misaligned.
Check geometry with correctly aligned imagery before uploading.
Here is an example of two microsoft buildings (marked with arrows):

Not sure which image you are using, but MS buildings were made based on Maxar imagery. Perhaps you could check if the buildings are aligned with Maxar (also maybe you cannot trust with any imagery, all of them could be misaligned).

Yes, Maxar is also misaligned.
In Lithuania we provide (transform/proxy) official government ortoimagery which is precisely aligned (used by all government institutions as well as professional surveyors). Therefore we can surely trust it :-)

Good to know! We also have official imagery, so we correct the alignment of those buildings where we can, but it is important to alert other users. Thanks for the heads up!

Uploading GPX traces will help. We can then check and drag the images into alignment before begin to map. With lots of GPXes we can hopefully get a good average for best accuracy.

In the United States, MS Building Footprints are from Bing. If the Bing imagery is good, the buildings are very good and often way better than hand-traced ones, if the imagery is bad, the buildings are often too.

This is what I’m pointing out: check out if mikrosoft has extracted building geometry from a good imagery (they have a record of not using/providing a good imagery) - otherwise adjust it before importing or simply do not import it at all.

it is a satellite image, it is known from BASIC’s
