This primarily relates to making and publicly publishing visual 2D maps, (a Produced Work within the terms of our ODbL license), and where the map covers a very large, probably global, area.

* Data near the boundary, on both the OpenStreetMap and other side may be altered algorithmically or manually without reference to ground-truth within your office to match connections of roads, railways, rivers etc provided that is the sole purpose of the alteration and that the extent away from the boundary is kept to a practical minimum. Please make these changes to your local data copy only, not to the main OpenStreetMap database - the changes are only relevant to your version of the map!

** You may also want to make actual corrections, i.e. changes made using the results of a field survey or examination of aerial imagery to make things fit, but anything resulting from those changes MUST be contributed back to OpenStreetMap!
