Hi, I thought I'd share this story with the list:
The reason I'm getting into OpenStreetMap because of a frustration with incorrect online maps. I needed a map of a local park off Quandeine Street in Stafford, Qld and the correct name is Keong Park ( See Brisbane City Council parks site for the authoritative name: http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/BCC:BASE::pc=PC_1098 ). Google Maps doesn't call it anything: http://j.mp/7wgDd2 (MapData Sciences Pty Ltd source data) Bing Maps calls it Stafford Park: http://j.mp/83hJtM (MapData Sciences Pty Ltd source data) Yahoo Maps incorrectly calls it Ennoggera Park: http://j.mp/5q1iQX Openstreetmap gets it right - Keong Park - http://j.mp/5OC0X3 - hurrah! with a lot more detail too. So strangely, the only one that was correct is also the only one I could have edited and renamed. :-) And now I'm starting to find this amateur map making all rather addictive. Regards, Chris
