OpenStreetMap

Browsing through the major cities and towns of Aotearoa NZ. I panned through Christchurch, Invercargill, Dunedin, Queenstown, Wellington, and Auckland.

The data quality varies per settlement and type of feature. For example, it seems that most buildings in Wellington have been traced. Meanwhile, in Christchurch there’s still a lot of buildings to trace. Also, it looks like most of the cycleways and bus routes across the settlements have been mapped already.

From a certain scale, the map is good.

I say that in terms of data availability per se in comparison with what we have in the my home country, the Philippines.

But how about the smaller towns? And what about the place names and other attributes?
