[OSM-talk] In Germany errors on mapdust
I regularly see errors posted on mapdust similar to this, I have put in a UK destination in Shrewsbury but the map appears to be in Germany. I have been closing these as they are nothing to do with OSM, but anyone have any idea why they occur, and why is it always Germany? I am seeing them in both Shropshire and Leicestershire, so doubt they are posted by the same person.

AFAIK Mapdust/Skobbler is Made in Germany. So if for whatever reason it can't figure out where to look, then it defaults to Germany.
