Re: [Talk-us] Question about incorrect data for an administrative area

[Jay Boyer]

I have been looking at the OSM data for Las Vegas and there are some serious 
problems for it.  The OSM boundary for Las Vegas encompasses about half of the 
city.  Certain areas of Las Vegas, including Paradise, Enterprise, Spring 
Valley and probably others are not within the city boundaries defined in OSM.  
To fix this I need to expand the Las Vegas boundaries to encompass of these 
sections.  I have been looking and cannot find a way to do this efficiently.  
Does anybody know of a way (aside from doing this manually) of expanding  and 
area to encompass another?

[Talk-us] Question about incorrect data for an administrative area

[Jay Boyer]

penStreetMap has an administrative area with the name of Enterprise in the 
southwestern corner of Las Vegas, Nevada.
All of the addresses in this Area are actually Las Vegas addresses.



So if I look in OpenStreetMap for:
Summers Ranch Ct., Las Vegas, NV 89139



I will not find it.  But if I search for:
Summers Ranch Ct., Enterprise, NV 89139



It will find this.



Enterprise is an unincorporated town.  But Enterprise is actually part of Las 
Vegas and all of the addresses within Enterprise are Las Vegas addresses.

Enterprise is this area:  http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/170132



The same class of error exists with an area of Las Vegas named Paradise:  
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/170053



How can edit these admin areas so that addresses within will be resolved with a 
city name of Las Vegas?  Or should the Enterprise and Paradise areas be 
merged into the Las Vegas area?

What would be the proper way to correct this data?
