Hi all, I also agree with the opinion of Taichi-san.
The Japanese famous incorrect case is, for example "Se Den Koku Ku Ritsu Ou Taku To Sho Kan". http://tosseto.info/blog/wp-content/uploads/1fce26a763cfad94eef6cc8f77c0fee2.png This place is the public library of Setagaya (Okusawa blanch), "of cource" OSM is correct information. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1420766049 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.603596&lon=139.672736&zoom=18&layers=M Additionally, this bug is not included iPC (one of the Japanese map agency), I guess. I think, we are continue to compare to Apple's map and OSM data and we need to certificate the correctness of the OSM data other place. 2012/9/25 Taichi Furuhashi <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > > > 1) Is Apple using OSM data for Japan? > > -> Apple is using little bit of OSM data in Japan.
