Hi @HsRawal
Thank you for asking
This is true, @HsRawal if you are contributing on desktop. In the past when the moderation was all by operators it was easier to fix the misalignment. I did it many times and it was working fine, as you can read in Correct Road Shapes in Google Maps - "Follow the Blue Line"
However, once the editor was opened to everyone, and preliminary moderation was subsequently transferred to the AI, this type of edit was no longer accepted, as it was considered low priority. Indeed, if a road is conceptually correct, a misalignment of a few meters wouldn’t compromise the navigation function.
The misalignment is often due to an update to satellite imagery, which in some areas has shifted its coordinates by a few meters. In practice, it’s not the roads that are drawn incorrectly, but the satellite imagery that has shifted compared to the previous one.
The best way to fix it is on mobile, by simply reporting the misalignment. Here below the steps
This is not correct. The reason why you see them is because they are drown with a different program: Road Mapper.
Road Mapper, accessible only by invitation, is a program for adding road in some country where a lot of roads are Missing.
India is one of the countries where you can add roads in such way.
The program is a simplified editor, where contributors add all the roads they see within a quadrant measuring approximately 700 meters on each side. The quadrant is suggested by the program each time, in areas where roads may be missing.
Since contributors can only draw within the quadrant, it often happens that there are sections of roads that aren’t connected to other roads, at least until the missing sections are added.
Furthermore, the designer can’t define the type of road added. This explains both the unconnected segments in your examples and the fact that roads appear when they’re actually just paths to walk on.
I know this very well, as I added more that 1600 Km in your country
Hope this is clarifying the issue
