[OSM-talk] Mount Obama mapped

2009-08-04 Thread Steve Chilton
Antigua and Barbuda today renames Boggy Peak to Mount Obama
http://snurl.com/onw6v
So the OSM map shows it on change day http://snurl.com/onw8t

Easy comparison target: Google has Boggy Peak (as was) in wrong place
http://snurl.com/onw8t
See also Bolans (spelt wrong), Jennings and Ebenezer well out of place,
and the road nr Old Road settlement taking completely fictitious line in
a couple of places.

And don't get me started on Yahoo maps http://snurl.com/onws5
Use transparency slider and zoom tools for full effect. Check SE of
Island which appears to have no roads in it at all and the road detail
in the north of the island.

Cheers

That link appears to be wrong - http://osm.org/go/Y2AFWDF

This also doesn't seem to show what you wanted http://snurl.com/oo77r

 And don't get me started on Yahoo maps http://snurl.com/onws5

Neither does this, http://snurl.com/oo79e

Now it'll be embarrassing if I also messed up.
