Session
MapRoulette was first announced at State of the Map US in 2012 as a tool to solve the many errors introduced by the import of TIGER road data in the United States. Since then, MapRoulette has been used for map improvements and guided data imports around the world. In this talk, MapRoulette creator Martijn van Exel will look at some of the achievements, lessons learned, and the evolution from a single purpose tool to a micro-tasking platform.
