Hi all, I just shared this on the community site so will share here for completeness: --- I think it depends on the type of charger. If it’s ABC Service Station or XYZ Hotel and they have a charger on their site, as an ancillary feature to their primary business, that they self own and manage, I

I notice this article: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-14/google-maps-outback-queensland-street-view-inaccurate/100065310 A good opportunity to make sure the town is 100% accurate (and detailed) in OSM. Assuming we can locate some appropriately licensed sources of course - it's a bit of a

[talk-au] Caltex on name-suggestion-index

2019-05-27 Thread Charles Gregory
Are "Caltex" and "Caltex Woolworths" identical in some parts of Australia? I'm asking because I'm matching a few brands of local chains on OSM, and notice that Caltex entries default to Woolworths Petrol. The NSI info seems to have both using "brand=Caltex" but the Woolworths ones take priority
