Maybe I'm missing something, but after looking at the above, and everything on the related pages, I don't understand the purpose of importing this particular node. Even if correctly positioned, what makes it useful to map? What is it to be tagged? >First the name is off by one character, GARDNER and not GARDINER, but >a fuzzy match would find that. I see (in the Los Angeles area) lots of mis-spellings, mis-naming, overly verbose naming, etc. Again typical of databases that are not well edited. >Also, why the schools are listed?

I routinely see dups in the case of schools (at least), since someone already did a GNIS import, some of which has now been manually geolocated. Why import these again? -- Alan Mintz <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
