Last week, we released the Missing Roads JOSM plugin, together with a web tool, the plugin source code, and a manual. More than 700 mappers have already given it a try, and nearly 10% of the missing roads tiles are already resolved. That is fantastic progress!

We have received a lot of great feedback from you and we are looking into every single suggestion. You may have noticed that we have already updated the web app adding a location hash. This means you can now share the URL at any time and it will include the current map view.

We also received a few requests to get access to the data powering the plugin and app. This sounded like a great idea to us! We started publishing daily dumps of the tile data. You can download and use these any way you see fit.

This is what the data looks like:
