the Isle of Man one looks much better in OSM than the african one:
Using this place as the capital of UK is probably misleading too:

At CloudMade we have been doing a lot of research and comparison into
the quality and completeness of the map but more focussing on Europe and
the USA. So it is very interesting to see this and see just how far
ahead we seem to be in less developed areas.
I would be very interested in looking

I'm pretty sure Google Maps does this by default.
Also, though I'm sure it is possible, and I could use optimizations of
various kinds, ordering by great circle distance (which you'd need to do
for this) is

Hi,
I made a comparison Google Maps - OSM for all capitals.
http://lamp2.fhstp.ac.at/~lbz/beispiele/ws2008/capitals/index.php
I am amazed. That's a great thing for getting a feeling for the worldwide
progress of OSM ...
Some cities like Havanna have wrong coordinates. No idea why the

Note that this does not include Google Mapmaker so Google has better
data for some of these lying around.
Hi
When I did this capital comparison I searched for
o A relation that contains all capitals (didn't find)
o Then I wanted to use osmxapi - but that was down
o Then I tried to search for microformats for geolocations in Wikipedia
but there are only a few cities with microformats
