Please improve the mapping of the Arena da Amazônia (map).
It looks intresting ;), but the current mapping/tagging implies holes in the roof!..
Thanks

We are already aware of this, thanks!
Indeed, we found about it just a few days ago. We have an upcoming mapathon where this will probably be replaced with an appropriate map.
The stadium roof and soccer pitch It’s a nice example of how (not to) mapping for the renderer.
I just corrected the pitch, and moved the stadium tags from a point to the outer polygon.
It would be nice to have all entrances mapped and labeled…
Do you want to join us in our mapathon? You’re surely welcome!
That sounds intresting.
If I can assist you from Germany, I do it gladly.
Where is the mapathon coordinated?
Best Regards

That’s great!
It is my first time participating on a mapathon here in Brazil, so others may advise you better than me. The current plans (and they may still take shape as we get closer to the date - which is just 11 days from now):
There are several topics we’ll focus on while doing the mapping:
Is there any special up to date aerial imagery? - The bing imagery is a bit to old.
Indeed Bing’s imagery is not only old but totally unusable around Manaus’ stadium.
If you’re using JOSM, you can enable the MapBox Satellite imagery layer. It is far worse from the quality you’d expect in Germany, but it’s better than nothing, and unfortunately the best we have.
Moreover, if you’re really concerned about recent changes, you can peek at Google’s images, as long as you don’t trace over it nor copy street/POI names. But this is usually not necessary.
A few other sources of non-tracing information: (unfortunately all only in Portuguese)
