Hi Colm,

Would rounding errors really cause them to be that far out ?

The one on the Old Dublin road is over 300m off

http://www.google.com/maps/place/54.113372999104556,-6.35452749999999

While one crossing on the N54/A3 seems almost 1/2 a km off !

Keith,


"Is it just me or are the majority of the locations off ?" - this may be down 
to OSi rounding off their entries. You will see a similar issue with the GNS Dataset 
(place names database), where locations are slightly off.


Not all border crossing points are mapped on OSM, e.g. here: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3396855098#map=17/54.09668/-6.36192 there 
are 4 crossings within 150 metres, but only one is mapped.


Note that railway=border (1 location) and power=border (3 locations mapped, but possibly 
many power=minor_line are unmapped) are also mapped. description=*, fixme=*, note=* and 
other tags also carry the word "border", e.g.
