The issue isn't about missing roads. Most problematic are missing places when searching by business name or wrong/missing address numbers. (I work in the industry)
Pelias project helps a lot, but there's still more data + software work to be done.
- jsjohnst 7y ago> Some phones have poor GPS This is quite the understatement. I used to work for a company selling a personal safety device that paired with your phone and the data we would get back for location on some Android phones was just atrocious. On a large number of older Pixel devices, we’d routinely see location off by a large margin (as in over a mile in the worst cases). Interestingly, we’d see the “real” user location provided with a location accuracy of 100-400ft, then the device would radically jump to a new location (again, sometimes over a mile away) with a location accuracy of <50ft. When you are dispatching help to a person in an emergency, exact location matters!
