Question
What is the purpose of tasking managers in OSM?
Answer in Brief
Solution
Tasking Manager is a free and open-source software tool that divides the mapping work of certain areas into small pieces (tiles) and distributes these tiles among mappers. As a result, the mapping task can be completed in a short amount of time without overlapping· or conflicts. This is usually done in vulnerable areas that require urgent mapping but it can be used for regular mapping too. The idea is used by Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT).
A Grune-like Tasking Manager called as MapRoulette is developed to increase participation. You can compete with other mappers by completing as many tasks as possible The MapRoulette site provides a set of challenges to work on.
