> cleaning up incorrect chain store data in OSM. >... McDonald's fast food restaurant, ...
related project: https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index and iD Editor use this ( https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/master/data/name-suggestions.json ) and don't forget internationalisation : like: "Макдоналдс": { "count": 324, "tags": { "name:en": "McDonald's" } "マクドナルド": { "count": 692, "tags": { "name:en": "McDonald's", "cuisine": "burger" } Regards, Imre 2015-05-01 0:04 GMT+02:00 Andrew MacKinnon <[email protected]>: > I am trying to figure out a way of cleaning up incorrect chain store > data in OSM.
