    to contributing to Open Source projects or Wikipedia. • All you need to get started is local knowledge • There is a community! • The community expects, that you collect data with care.

  25. When proposing OSM to a customer or use it in

    a service, we take on responsibility for the data. 32
  26. Major OSM issues (in Japan) 33 • Large spread of

    data coverage and quality. • Insufficient address/POI data • Vertical and dense urban areas • Use of data beyond rendering map images Responsibility for map data bears an additional risk.
  27. Most of our clients choosing OSM do this to save

    costs or due to lack of alternatives. 34
