Old Havana OpenStreetMap Mapping Sprint

Revision 2026-08-21-unsourced-text-correction · effective 2026-08-02

Current revision. This is the snapshot used by the live entity page.

unreviewed

Removed or softened wording that no listed source carries, after reading every source while preparing the claim ledger. The six-day duration appears only in Bloomberg coverage that is not listed and could not be read; '360-degree rigs' becomes '360-degree cameras' (the source names no manufacturer); the unevidenced OpenStreetMap database import is gone, and the claim that hedged it with it.

In September 2016
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport

Claim 2 clm-48e99425eadad479 descriptive
a dozen OpenStreetMap Cuba volunteers
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The blog states 'A team of 12 people set out to map Cuba's capital city' and describes how Mapillary 'got in touch with the community of OpenStreetMap Cuba' to run the project with them.
Caveat
The source counts twelve people in the team but does not describe all twelve as OpenStreetMap Cuba volunteers; the author himself writes as a Mapillary employee who travelled in, and the piece names 'the local group' separately.

Claim 3 clm-84ab0430b005a97a descriptive
mapped Old Havana's streets on foot, bike and motorcycle
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The blog names all three modes: 'the local group provided two motorcycles plus two bicycles', 'Volunteers on foot mapped the streets of Old Havana where no bicycle or motorcycle is allowed', and 'The people on bicycles mapped the Center of La Havana with their phones'.
Caveat
The six-day duration appears only in Bloomberg's coverage, which is not among the listed sources and could not be read; the Mapillary blog names the arrival day but no end date.

Claim 4 clm-a9d63a7506402292 quantitative
with phones, action cameras and 360-degree cameras
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The blog lists the equipment for the on-foot mapping: 'Using phones, action cameras and 360 cameras in combination with chest mounts and selfie sticks, they provided some great shots of what is happening in the center of the city.'
Caveat
The source says '360 cameras' without naming a manufacturer.

Claim 5 clm-bc24a3b5b1c71a6e quantitative
covering an estimated 80-90%
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The blog gives the coverage figure as a range in the operator's own words: 'We rented a car and the local group provided two motorcycles plus two bicycles, with which we ended up mapping 80‒90% of Old Havana.'
Caveat
This is the organiser's own estimate, published in Mapillary's company blog; the post gives no method, no measured street kilometres and no independent check behind the range.

Claim 6 clm-60517648fe49258d descriptive
of the UNESCO-listed historic core
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
An image caption in the blog post describes the mapped area as 'A magnificent walk around Old Havana - a UNESCO World Heritage Site', and the text repeatedly names Old Havana as the area covered.
Caveat
The source asserts the World Heritage status in a photo caption; it cites no inscription date and no UNESCO document. The listed OpenStreetMap Wiki page (a 2011 conference bid) describes Old Havana as the historic core but does not mention UNESCO.

Claim 7 clm-5cd53d94f8ca272a descriptive
adding the imagery to the open Mapillary
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The blog invites readers to 'explore the streets and locations of La Havana' on Mapillary and states the upload volume: 'we will be uploading more than 140 GB of image data.'
Caveat
The post is written in the future tense about the upload ('we will be uploading'); it does not confirm that all of the imagery had been published at the time of writing.

Claim 8 clm-eb0efa2766a64614 quantitative
Volunteers covered an estimated 80-90% of Old Havana's streets
Published field
impact · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The coverage range is the operator's own summary of the sprint: 'with which we ended up mapping 80‒90% of Old Havana'. The blog attributes the work to the twelve-person team plus the local OpenStreetMap Cuba group.
Caveat
The source says '80‒90% of Old Havana', not explicitly '80-90% of its streets'; and the figure is a self-reported estimate by the organiser, with no method stated and no independent measurement.

Claim 9 clm-0506969cfb9494b3 quantitative
during the September 2016 sprint
Published field
impact · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The blog dates the mapping camp to September 2016 - 'I landed on September 21st to kick start the mapping' - and was itself published on 06 Oct 2016, shortly after.
Caveat
The source names only the start date. It gives no end date and no duration, so the length of the sprint cannot be checked against this source.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
