Chiang Mai (June, 2019)
Ground Focus
Primary focus was on adding street names. We had Thai-speaking team members with the ground crew to help ensure accurate spelling.
All GPX Files from this trip can be downloaded here.
Post Processing
After the ground survey was conducted, our office team has been reviewing the footage gathered and updating street names by checking the consistency with current data and physical road signs.
The team will add turn restrictions, pedestrian crossings, surfaces to roads, lanes, and additional missing geometry.
Suggested Community Edits
There are still many names that need to be entered in Thai. We did our best to enter the names available to us in Thai, but where that was not feasible, we used the Latin characters available on street signs under the name:en key.
Primary focus in Rayong was also on adding street names. We had Thai-speaking team members with the ground crew to help ensure accurate spelling.
