i tried a litte bit with the map. I often found the town/hamlet 1 or 2 kilometers away and has not just a wrong position, it seems also to be not in right scale (at least east-west), if i take the roads and rivers on the map for offset operations to the map. Some towns/hamlets on the map seems not to be exists any longer. Is there any reason, not to use the Geonet Names Server [1]? It seems not to be licensing problems, when the wiki page text is correct. We could either use the WMS-Layer, see link on the bottom of the page or could convert the data files to osm-files? The data, delivered from GNS, have also coordinates, which are not so bad.
