Bulletin for Digiroad users on the 12th of October 2010

The geometry and address data obtained from the National Land Survey of Finland contains the changes made to the data by the 10th of June 2010.

Data updates have been received from the GIS-system of The Finnish Transport Agency. The updates include speed restrictions, level crossings of railways as well as roads affected by thawing. Road addresses have also been updated according to the situation in the end of June.
 

During this maintenance period data has been updated for 11 municipalities (Kiikoinen, Länsi-Turunmaa, Juuka, Keminmaa, Mikkeli, Orimattila, Pietarsaari, Pukkila, Sastamala, Siilinjärvi ja Teuva). Several municipalities have also sent feedback e.g. about new streets and the information has been passed on to the National Land Survey.

User feedback has been received about e.g. road addresses, manoeuvres and missing street geometry. These errors in the previous data release have been corrected and passed on to the primary sources responsible for providing the data (e.g. the National Land Survey).

Other updates and quality checks

Several minor quality checks and corrections have been made and the quality has been improved. Results from testing the quality of some of the data object are published as a Digiroad Quality Report which is delivered with the data publication.
