Quality of OSM Data “The analysis shows that OSM information is fairly accurate: on average within about 6 m of the position recorded by the OS, and with approximately 80% overlap of motorway objects between the two datasets. In the space of four years, OSM has captured about 29% of the area of England.” (Haklay, 2010)
