I have been working on this for months now. The new version of CheckAutopista is faster, easier to use on mobile devices and has been completely redesigned from the ground up.
What is CheckAutopista?
CheckAutopista is a quality assurance tool for motorways. This tool allows you to select a motorway in OSM (if it is tagged in a relation with type=route
and route=road
) and check a lot of features in it.
Car navigation is clearly one of the most popular use cases of OpenStreetMap data. Assuring that data is of high quality is a hard task, and even harder if we don’t have any tools that help us detect missing, incorrect or old data. That is how visualization tools can help us.
CheckAutopista allows you to visualize a motorway in a simple interface using colors to detect missing information such as maxspeed, lanes, destination, exit_to, name, ref and to visualize exits, toll booths, service and rest areas.
What is new on CheckAutopista2 ?
-
CheckAutopista now comes with a custom designed background map which emphasizes motorways.
-
CheckAutopista has been totally remade externally trying to make it more beautiful and easier to use.
-
CheckAutopista can be used easily on small mobile devices. You can change the size of the circles on the settings.
-
CheckAutopista now supports
destination:ref
anddestination:int_ref
tags on the exit panels. -
I am trying to contribute to the usage of
destination
tags instead ofexit_to
tags, so CheckAutopista now uses the green color only fordestination
and yellow forexit_to
. -
CheckAutopista is now much more efficient on the Overpass API requests making it much faster.
-
CheckAutopista has also been totally remade internally to make it faster and improve on the readability of the code.
Examples
Here are some examples of some motorways of the world on CheckAutopista:
