Hi

It seems to me that OSM is very incomplete at the moment: many streets in
Joburg are not on the map, not named, or worse: named wrong. I've been
adding/naming/fixing some of them, but is there some easier way to get
street names than driving there and having a look?

Also is there any measure of OSM's completeness for cities in SA?

It also occurred to me that mapping features could be done much easier in
reverse: for example, instead of adding petrol stations to OSM one-by-one
as you find them, contact Shell/Engen/BP/Caltex/etc. and ask them for a
list of all their petrol stations in the country, with GPS coordinates,
then add them to OSM en-mass. Has anybody tried something like this?

Thank you
Damjan
