I am currently near this nice quiet place and am leaving shortly.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/-26.6176/144.2666

I note that there is a fairly large discrepancy between some of the roads and the public GPS traces. The main E-W highway is also split, but not in OSM. Imagery and GPS traces are however close.

I am very reluctant to move ways as I really don't have a good reference source. I understand that Qld Globe cadastral data is far more accurate than their roads, and OSM has a waiver to use. It isn't however a non custom ID editor layer?

Would anyone with the knowledge as to how be interested in checking/realigning the streets? (about 4x5 blocks) I mighty drive up and down all the streets here (both directions - 2x GPS units) as I leave, as an additional check..

Quilpie is the town (council) that complained about Eromanga being in the wrong place on GM. Apparently they have signs around here suggesting one should ignore G based GPS navigation information!

The town features are also a bit messy. Duplication of points vs area. Fixing the way alignment first though might be a good idea.

Cheers
