Turning circles now rendering as roundabouts
Have just downloaded the January updated Australia map & noticed that points marked on OSM as turning circles (usually at the end of cul-de-sacs) are now rendering as roundabouts, but actually mapped roundabouts aren't! Is this something that has been noticed previously? Thanks Graeme -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.

True, but I mentioned it earlier on an OSM mailing list & one of the others said he'd tried searching it via Bing & Bing Maps & no results at all?

Bit more information. Turns out it's an Open Location Code: <http://openlocationcode.com/> Apparently developed at Google, but it says it's open source & can be freely used? Even so, should OSMAND be promoting something that displays on Google Maps?

Google maps location code?
Hi Apologies if this has been discussed before. Have been working on OSM adding & updating details, while also checking OSMAND+ on my phone to see how things were actually showing on the map, & found something a bit unusual. Search for a POI, select one, go to More Actions - Show Description, & it will give you the details for that POI that have been entered in OSM, together with a Lat / Long location, which is all fine. However, it's also showing another location code, eg 5R3MXC5M+JM. Clicking on that field on the phone, doesn't seem to do anything, but if you do a Google search on that data, it returns a location on Google Maps, which is the location of the POI! If you try it now, by highlighting 5R3MXC5M+JM & doing a "Search in Google" it will return a location in Mermaid Beach, Queensland, Australia, which is the restaurant that I was looking at. Why is OSMAND apparently showing Google Maps data? Anybody got any thoughts / ideas? Thanks Graeme -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Osmand" group.
