Austria for example has very good maps in OSM, South Korea on the other hand has much lower quality maps (probably fewer people there using OSM)
- netsharc 3y agoI wonder if the users could technically violate some S. Korean laws, so are wary of contributing: https://jsis.washington.edu/news/south-korean-data-localization-shaped-conflict/ https://jsis.washington.edu/news/south-korean-data-localizat... > The purpose of the Korean Land Survey Act was to prevent anyone who is threat to national security from stealing the country’s maps during the post-war period. ROK government enacted the law in 1961 and it concerned the establishment and management of spatial data — it has subsequently been amended in 2009. The Article 16 of the act states strict regulation on taking maps, photos, the results of a survey, or any land surveillance data abroad, because of the likelihood that it could harm South Korean national security interests.
