The conflation has limits, it's true. Node http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2802994130 would not be expected to match, as it is tagged only with: * name=Cycle tools and pump* > There does seem to have been a few issues with some of the ones that have > been imported already (I've only looked at the ones in the UK; not sure if > they are typical of the rest). The majority of the locations were collected via an unusual method. The user scans a QR code at the station, for "bike repair instructions". The user is asked to "share their location". That point cloud becomes the mapped location. The locations I field checked were all findable, but had positioning errors consistent with smartphone GPS units, up to 30 meters. In each case I was able to find the station in a field check, then manually rectify the exact location. It was a lot easier to field check these knowing the approximate location, rather than simply wandering all over town searching for bike repair stands. ------------------------- Check 'em out in your area: how good are the positions? http://www.dero.com/fixitmap/fixitmap.html There are a smattering of other attempts to map bike repair stations: http://bikepgh.org/2014/03/03/diy-bike-repair-locations-in-pittsburgh/
