[OSM-talk] Cat Forest
Hi folks, Every now and then, not far from "null island", some features pop up in the middle of the Atlantic. One of them's called "Cat Forest". You can see references to it here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/note/308544 http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/219747755/history http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/235437228/history and if you select "undelete" at the location below you can see that lots of them have been added and deleted over the years: http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=potlatch#map=15/0.0841/0.0044 Other related features (which you can see in the changesets that added "Cat Forest") include "Happy Park" and "Coast Highway". I'm guessing that it's an OSM course somewhere. There are better ways of practicing with OpenStreetMap than adding things to the middle of the Atlantic (there's the dev server, which might be appropriate depending on what was being done, and there's also OpenGeoFiction for _real_ fictional maps), although it's not a huge issue - things such as this normally get spotted and deleted a few days after they were added. Mainly I'm just curious :) Cheers, Andy ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
